  K so my mom is gonna bring it back tomorrow and say it doesn't work. If they give her another copy we'll go back another day and give it back while it's still unopened. Flawless.

  
  
  Holy shit, that's actually a good idea.
  
  ...can't believe I never thought of that LOL.

  Here in Canada, software, music and movies are non-refundable goods once opened. They'll only exchange if the item is found to be defective. This policy is there.. for obvious reasons. ):

  Unless it says on the receipt that it's a returned item already, or something. D:
  
  I actually inadvertently ended up doing this when I returned my camera for a refund. I was pretty worried, since while the camera was defective and a refund was warranted, the store could have still charged me a restocking fee of like 15% if they felt like it, because I filled out the warranty card on the camera already. 15% from over $600 that I paid for the camera would have been annoying to waste for no reason. D: Thankfully, they decided to give me a replacement instead, which I tested and returned for a refund a few days later. But at least I didn't pull any dirty tricks--the 2nd camera was faulty, as well. :)
  
  Nevertheless, I hope it works out for you. Research and read reviews next time, to avoid the trouble. x)

  I don't think they bother to ring it up as a return. I think it's rung up as an entirely new transaction.
  
  Of course...if you go back a few days later (since you have to return it to the same GameStop), i'm pretty sure they'd recognize you.

  I actually went the store for 2 specific games (which both ended up being there, I was quite surprised) When I was about to check out I saw the case for the game. I felt soooo attracted and before I knew it I was playing it (It's Hyperdimension Neptunia)...

  Hopefully we'll land a time when different people are working there.

  Or hopefully your plan to say "it didn't work, but I don't want another one because I don't want to return this shit again" will work.
