Hey Lyndal, not sure where you live but you should see our newspaper down here in Vic.
In the letters section there is a debate going on where some young thing said no one over 50 should be shopping in supermarkets after 5pm as they clog up the check outs for the workers.
Older people and retirees should be restricted to 9-3pm in her opinion.

As for the scammer question. I am not sure the people are actual scammers as such because it doesn't sound as if they plan on keeping the items.
It's more what I would call the age of entitlement. Some buyers seem to think if they buy anything and it isn't a perfect fit then they have the right to get every cent back plus return postage costs.
I think it is an unreasonable expectation when it comes to things such as clothing and shoes. The sizing could be correct but as we all know, not every style or item will fit perfectly, even if it is your usual size.
Faults in items, that is a different matter. I would want to see photos of the puckering. If it has been incorrectly gathered or something that could be cause for a complaint but it is hard to tell without a photo.

I live in Sydney Springy.
It seems that if we lived in Victoria my OH and I would have to be euthanised.
I am 70 but cannot go shopping without transport due to mobility probems. I also work from home in our business. My husband is 72 and works 14 hours a day, 5 days a week. We definitely cannot get to the shops between 9 and 3 and when we do go we do not clog up any checkouts....we use the self serve checkouts and take a lot less time than many of the younger people, especially those with young children in tow,.
we are in sydney also and i hate going to the shops (i dont much due to mobility problems also i have just started to use a walking stick and it helps a little)
but people are so rude we went to the chemist where a huge man almost sent me flying by backing up without looking (he did not say sorry)
then into jbhifi to buy season 5 of the walking dead ( i LOVE this show) could not find it after hobbling around so hubby asked the girl on check out and the girl coped a gob full of rudeness from a guy who said dont answer any questions?? she only had to point they were insight of the register so it only took 2 seconds of her time
i could'nt get home fast enough hubby does the groceries i gave up trying to get around there
i think people think we should be not allowed out of the house never mind having the nerve to shop in a supermarket 
Yes, I know.
I've been following the newspaper debate on the letters page with great interest.
The youngies sometimes have such strong ideas on equality & freedom and acceptance and so on... except when it comes to themselves.
