Idea of the Day: Call-ahead returns

cash registerI’m standing in the ‘Returns’ line at yesterday, listening to other customers talking on their phones and complaining about the long wait…

Welcome to Walmart. You’ll find the lowest costs, but you still pay a price.

So here’s an idea: how about call-ahead returns? I know that some retail outlets are finding success through their on-line ordering systems where you pick up the product in-store. So why not reverse engineer it?

Log your return online, the retailer’s website will generate a receipt for you to bring to the store, they scan it, cash you out and voila…you are on your way.

I love efficiency.
