A backlash is mounting against Moxie Blue Salon, with locations in Old City Philadelphia and Marlton, New Jersey. Honestly, every year that I ve gone to return things it s been a little crazier than this. So, when I turned the corner I was really surprised, said Aimee Hager from East Falls.
Because of the pandemic, many retailers - including Target - are offering returns through UPS or FedEx. Maybe a lot of people are just going to return things online, because they bought things online, Hager added.
Stores like Best Buy are extending their holiday return policies for most products and allowing customers to use curbside service.
Her husband, Ivor, agreed.
“We’re avoiding stores,” he said. “We have a combined age of nearly 200. It’s probably not a good idea to go into a store.”
The Silvers like to keep it light. They even named their dog after a comedian. He’s Phil Silver.
But with an actual combined age of about 165, they take the coronavirus very seriously.
“Of course we’re concerned,” Ivor said. “It’s a dreadful disease. It doesn’t recognize gender, or race, or color or creed.”
They hoped they’d find no crowd at Nordstrom’s to safely return something that didn’t fit right.
U.S. retail sales rose 3% during this year's expanded holiday shopping season from Oct. 11 to Dec. 24, a report by Mastercard Inc said on Saturday, powered by a pandemic-driven shift toward online shopping.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) As holiday celebrations wrap up, be on high alert for criminals trying to take advantage of you with potentially enticing schemes.
The Memorial Village Police Department put out a warning in their weekly newsletter about the unwanted gift card scam.
They said suspects will approach someone, often times in a parking lot or online, offering to sell a gift card at a discounted rate. They can make the card appear to have a valid balance, so the scam looks real, police said.
Once you pay for the card, police said scammers will either swap it out for one without any funds linked to it or transfer money off the card.
Holiday shoppers spent more this year than last, though the totals were still below what had been forecast by the retail industry. Mastercard SpendingPulse said Saturday that sales were up 2.4% between. Money News Summaries. | Newser
