I would have given three stars for being out of an item when it showed in stock, but I give the store four stars because several team members pitched in to try to find the item -- that's customer service!
Didn't want to honor their own sale. Calling the 800 number was no use. manger on-site didn't care.

I came in the store to check out the Google Pixel Watch 3. I needed to check which size is right for me - 41mm or 45mm.
While Apple and Samsung watches were out on display, the salesperson told me that for the Pixel watches, I need to go to the service desk.
At the service desk I had to wait for a while, when the employees were radioing each other. Then I was told that the watches are sealed in boxes and I have to buy them to check them out.
To do that, I can simply buy the products online.
A few years ago I posted a similar negative review about exactly the same experience at Bed Bath & Beyond. Products were sealed. I was advised to buy a few and return what I don't like.
We know the faith of retailers that push customers to shop online.

I bought a computer monitor but didn't need it. It was unopened, and I wanted to return it. I didn't know there was a 15-day return policy, as it had been 25 days. The store associate was polite and tried to help by asking the manager for a refund or store credit. However, the manager refused. I even offered to pay a restocking fee or exchange it for something more expensive. The manager insisted I needed a special membership for extended returns. Which person in their write mind would sign up for a paid yearly membership to return an item makes no sense.This experience highlights poor business practices and is likely why their stores are closing. Manager Albert was particularly unhelpful.

Hello, Ravi,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I understand how frustrating it must be to learn about the return policy after the fact, especially when the item was unopened and you were willing to explore different options. We aim to provide flexibility for our customers, and I can see why this situation was disappointing.
