'You stepped out of the store, you don't get a refund': Clever customer uses loophole in store's return policy, infuriating the manager

This manager may have been irritated, but the rest of us can applaud this customer's success at bending the rules for his own gain. Sure, finding loopholes and using them to one's advantage can sometimes lead to unruly behavior, but this time, the customer achieved something most shoppers can only dream of: a loophole within a store's strict return policy.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/dubilendar, who shared that he had just bought a series of items from a nearby store only to learn from his wife that he should go back and return a few of the items he purchased. It had been less than 20 minutes since he bought them, but apparently, because he physically left the store, he couldn't return the items. Instead, he could only get a voucher to buy something else for the same price, despite the fact that he didn't need anything else. 

We have all been here before. However, not all of us are able to think on our feet like this customer. Keep scrolling below to see how he managed to get his money back in spite of the bogus return policy.
