Alot of the time I find young white female employees to be really bitchy follow the protocol bootlickers.

In my experience, they're quite the opposite - very easy to manipulate.

Remember: It's not "what" you say, but "how" you say It.

Maybe I'm just repulsive.
There are lots of foreign students working in retail over here, usually pretty lax when it comes to returns.

Everyone's personality varies to some degree, but being young and naive Is an easier target to exploit.

I specifically went for a girl that seemed really nice and clearly showed me the seals that have to be untouched. When she showed me those I was like “wasn’t this supposed to have plastic around?”.
It was a pretty nice and genuine interaction si I’ll try to find the same girl when I return the box in a few days!

Quick update: I have a friend working for a similar tech company(both are official apple retailers) and he said that returned devices go through a security check routine.
Since I paid them by credit card, I have the following risks:
- he said that they will be checking inside the box after the phone is returned and it won’t just be put back on stock to be sold
- he also said that the refund will take a few days to process and to get into my bank account, meaning that if they check the box and find anything wrong they can just cancel the refund
What do you guys recommend I do in this case? Give up the SE and try again using fake name and pay by cash?
Thanks

Let us know how it works out!

Are you sure It applies to each and every Apple store/retailer/dealer, both In-store and online?

Also, Is the check only done when paying by CC?

It depends on your answer to the above questions.

Thanks for the reply, not sure if the check takes place for retailers since I haven’t tried to SE anything with this company so far.
He told me that the check is a standard procedure that should be followed regardless of the method i purchase with.
I would take the risk with this, but chances are it’s going to trace back to me for sure if caught..

Are you referring to Apple checking the box at the time of the return, or a buyer who purchased your return contacts Apple?
