Stay away from Kohls
I am hoping that my friends will read this and share the information i am providing in hopes that this doesnt happen to anyone else. A little over a year and a half, ago i purchased two items at KOHLS for a family member for graduation. We were in the process of moving at the time and i inadvertently misplaced the receipt that I had paid for with cash. The 2 items retailed at a little over $120. Since Kohls policy is "NO QUESTIONS ASKED FOR RETURNS" she took them to Kohls in Asheville, NC to exchange. She was treated very rudely and they took the items from her and said a gift card would come from their corporate office in about 2 weeks. Long story short they refused and kept the items. A year after this when pulled over for a taillight that wasnt working, she was handcuffed and arrested and taken to jail on charges from Kohl's for "trying to obtain property by false pretenses". They also had put a bogus address for her on the warrant. When consulting an attorney in Asheville she said she had had several cases such as these from the same Kohls and because she was bi-racial they were racially profiling her. After about 6 months of back and forth to court because KOHL'S was given this amount of time to provide proof of the "alleged crime" it was finally dismissed today as KOHL'S had no proof because the items were NOT stolen. So she was publicly embarrassed and humiliated by being arrested, dragged through court for months waiting on KOHL'S to prove she had done something wrong and still KOHL'S KEPT HER GRADUATION GIFT all because she was a mixed race. I am asking this to be shared as much as possible. Kohl's should be held accountable for what they did to her. They should also be made to remove their ads stating no problems with returns. Personally no one in our family will ever step foot in their stores again and I hope after reading this others will do the same.
