Same as several other reviewers: the store's return policy is frustratingly obtuse--especially for a touristy town.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, my wife decided she couldn't stomach a leather bracelet. When we tried to return the bracelet for a refund back to our credit card, the hipster-cashier lady (with a beanie) was sure to make us aware that the return policy only allowed for store credit.
That return policy--as moronic as it is--might be great for locals, but it's quite impossible for out-of-towners like ourselves. When will we ever come back to this hole-in-the-wall trinket store?
(TL;DR: never again, obviously.)
We explained that we were visiting for only this week, and that she should remember us having been through approximately 30 minutes prior.
"Oh yeah, I remember you guys. I'm the one who rang you up," as if that made her lack of empathy more stomach-able.
Still, hipster beanie girl wouldn't budge. After all, they *do* have a little 4" framed notice (in a horrendously uncouth non small-caps ALL CAPS no less) that states the return policy.
Okay, so we're the idiots for not making it a habit of asking every single cashier we encounter whether their particular store has an equally idiotic return policy? Got it.
Apparently the owner is in Kansas. It would be interesting know what sort of logic led them to impose such an unforgiving (and frankly, in poor taste) return policy.
In the past, have there been a string of late-20s tourist couples flocking to MADE, purchasing goods, and then attempting to return said goods only after having defecated on them?
I really can't imagine a scenario in which a business owner who sells physical goods would determine that this particular return policy is the best one.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
These types of stores are a dime a dozen in Jackson. Best try you luck at one of the other single-word-verb-turned-noun stores in town. Just be sure to ask if their return policy is as stupid as MADE.
