He recommended doing that?
I asked if I was allowed to.

Chill Hashem or the potential of one is probably the strongest factor of issue. Being that corporations have policies in place, even if you told the store manager that your intention was to purchase and return they would still sell you the item as they have no reason not to.

Oh. You seemed to imply something else before...
I was specifically told by my Rav that I was allowed to buy a pack n play in Walmart and return after using it
 

What was your exact question?

Also, I have been told of store managers who told people we know you plan on returning it but many people don't.

Exactly. They obviously don't want people returning their toilets 20 years after they use it.
 
But because of the people who take advantage of the system (I would imagine only a minority), they aren't going to change their return policy.

I believe that may have been what the Rav said to me but i don't remember for sure

Any reason I would be allowed to go to a lounge in an airport with a refundable ticket and then cancel? And use their amenities.
Inspired by @AJK TR to YVR.

I thought it might have been inspired by the more-recent post here:
https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=41810.msg2840332#msg2840332

(If you can't see tweets, it's about a 10-year-old story [unless there's been a repeat occurrence] about
a man who continually rescheduled a first-class flight, eating a meal in the VIP lounge before each time.)

I just bought a shirt at a children's clothing store (Kidichic). The tag says 70% cotton, 30% linen. Does it need to be checked for shatnez? Don't think I ever bought a linen shirt before.

Ask the store if they’ve ever had an issue with it

There will be a Seudas Hodaah tonight in Bais Faiga at 9:30PM with the Hishtatfus of the Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbanei Hair!
Will there be music? Dancing? What's the workaround?

The gemara says that Yerusholayim was destroyed bec of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza.
Um, what exactly did Kamtza do wrong?
Other than he is friendly with the nasty Baal HaSeudah,  we never actually meet him in the story!
The BS was mean to BK, the chachamim didn't protect BK, BK's ultimate reaction was quite poor.
Blame them, Why is poor Kamtza being blamed for millenia?

Pashut Pshat is Al Kamtza UBar Kamtza Chorvoh Yerushalayim. On the matter of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza Yerushalayim was destroyed. Nothing to with Mr. Kamtza per se.
