A crazy shopper returned her Christmas tree to Costco this January for a refund — because it was “dead.”
Bizarrely, the woman apparently managed to get her money back in full despite taking the battered fir back a full 10 days after Dec. 25.
She was snapped at the checkout of the store in Santa Clara, Calif., by unimpressed shopper Scott Bentley, who was stuck in a line behind her.
He shared the photo on Facebook, writing: “I can’t make this stuff up.
“Woman in line at Costco, totally nonchalant, to return her Christmas tree ‘because it is dead’ on January 4.
“If I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t believe that someone had so little moral values or lack of conscience.

“Heartbreaking to think she may have needed that money so much, she lost all self respect and dignity for it.
“She did get a refund – not happily though. It was questioned, verified purchase on her account and she was shamed to a small degree… But I don’t think it fazed her because she has no conscience.
“She didn’t seem to mind that I took a photo and said ‘Are you serious?!?.'”
The woman was slammed on social media by users branding her “cheap” and “brazen.”
One person wrote: “People like this are miserable. Seriously, how cheap can you be?”
While another said: “Sister works for Costco, can confirm. People do this all the time. They will even demand a refund without bringing back the tree.”
Costco is known for its generous returns policies — with basically any item able to be refunded at any time except electronics, which have a 90-day limit.
According to a Reddit post, employees have returned a range of items — including an empty wine bottle, old fish, a used chicken coop and photo prints.
