Yeah, most US stores have generous return policies but this is not at all universal. Some stores have strict terms (must have original receipt, must be unopened, and returned within a 30-day windows), or sometimes the employee working the service desk had a bad day and decides to take it out on you. I know that I tend to shop at stores that aren't going to challenge me when I need to return things.
