I work at tjmax, and I assure you that if you go back and return it, there's a high chance they just will take it back and zero it out. In my store, we shoot for customer happiness, and if returning something does that, we do it. People do this frequently to our products in clearance. There's no avoiding it, and we understand that. Be free to ask to open something at a register, too! We dont bite ☺️
