I bought a nice Breville coffee maker from HG a few days ago and ended up needing to return it the next day (unpacked and used once as a test).

The employee I chatted with told me that they don’t resell it but instead throw it away in a bin that is locked away. Employees can’t take them home, it’s not refurbished…just wasted. The reason: legal liability if someone get sick from using it. This rule apparently applies to any item sold and returned at HG.

Can anyone validate this? This can’t be true…if it is…good lord.

The normal price for this coffee maker is ~300, hg was selling it for ~220.
