Academy return policy on sunglasses?

I got a pair of Costas today from Academy and the girl checking me out made sure to tell me that they had a strict return policy on their shades (all stickers must still be in place, return has to be w/in a certain amount of days, no scratches (obvious one there) and one or two other criteria). It's not a problem as far as this new purchase is concerned (I definitely understand the reasoning), but I don't remember ever getting that warning before on the premium shades I've bought there before. Is this new? Is it just because it's Baton Rouge?

Congrats on the free pair of Costas for the day.

Not new, not just BR. They have a strict policy with thier glasses. Last time you were there the arse at the counter was just being lazy.

Told me the same at the Hammond store.

I work there and have never heard that before...but don't take my word for it, I'm not a cashier.

I probably contributed to that sunglasses return policy being enacted. I found out the easy way that you can get broken Costas for very cheap from people, and that academy had a liberal return policy on broken ones. Took them a few months to realize it, but after a while, they stopped taking Costas back at all. A couple of months after that, they started taking them back, but with strict guidelines for swapping them out
They also did the same with a few other items, but we stuck to sunglasses

Why would you voluntarily tell people you're a POS?
