Target not accepting returns due to Coronavirus

Found this out when I went to turn in my Soda Stream cartridge for a new one. You are supposed to turn the old one in and you get $15 off a new one.
So they gave me one from the back that seems to have been refilled. I don't think it was brand new. I took it home and it does not work, so definitely not new. Sigh, so now I have 2 cartridges that I can't return.

If you need to buy anything at this time, just be mindful that if you need to return it, you may not be able to for some time. Thus, you will have to wait a while to get your money back. Its supposed to be for 3 weeks, then they will resume accepting returns.

2. Definitely stores will not take back items that were bought for coronavirus

4. As far as Target. Its all items. Not just items bought for coronavirus.

They are not accepting any returns for anything. I was told it was to decrease the possibility of having contaminated items handled by someone infected.

5. Thanks. Sounds reasonable I suppose

Our lives are forever changed.

3. Michigan has discontinued bottle returns.

Makes sense.

6. Here is the statement from Target

To be extra cautious, Target will stop accepting in-store product returns and exchanges for the next three weeks—but don’t worry if you have a return that expires during that period, because we’ll still honor them three weeks past the holding period. And for now, we’ll refrain from handling reusable bags, asking guests who bring them in to bag their own items at checkout. Our paper and plastic bags will be available and we’ll waive any local fees during this time.
