i don't think there's anything dystopian about a company banning people who abuse their return policies.
if everybody abused return policies that way, the policies would simply be changed to disallow it for everybody. flexible policies only work because there's a trust that they won't be abused, and they'll only last as long as most people don't abuse them. the people who return everything they buy are just trying to squeeze the most out of the system before they ruin it for the rest of us, and banning them is a much better solution than disallowing returns.

And the power dynamics at play. In times of yore it would not occur to the shop keeper to offer a return policy or for the shopper to try and bilk him. The interaction would not be scripted.

It has been sometime since I have been happy with the service and there are ample alternatives domestically. I won't lose sleep over Amazon's profit margins.
