There are always people who will try to take advantage of a situation. Seems to happen a lot at places like Wal-Mart, Target, etc. My granddaughter used to work at the customer service counter at a Target store and had dozens of stories about how people would try to return merchandise for cash that was old, obviously used, and in some cases not even purchased at Target!
However as Costco is "members only", it is quite possible that it happens much less there than at other stores. If you have to pay for the privilege of shopping there is seems that it would be much less likely for a member to abuse that privilege and risk losing his/her membership.
