If I was the person who brought the item and found out the store did this I would be so mad.
They are stealing from people

The above rules do NOT apply to Christmas decorations. They got burned ONE too many times. If you bring back your Christmas Decorations on January 2nd you get current price. (In other words don't decorate the house and then take it back LOL!)
This is so true back when my youngest was a baby my mom purchased formula from Target for him but I was nursing so I didn't need it. My mom gave me both her original receipt and the gift reciept since she paid with her CC and she wanted me to get store credit for it I used the gift receipt to return it and at the time Similac she purchased was $9.99 per can and when I went to my local Target they tried to give me a refund price of $7.99. I whipped out her original receipt with the price she paid and expected the same refund price and only then did they adjust it to reflect what she actually paid vs. what that store was selling it for. Thanksfully she gave me her original receipt so I was able to get what she actually paid for it. So bottom line beware!!!!O my gosh! I was behind a woman in Kmart last January who did this! She drug in an opened Christmas tree box (the tree was obviously used and couldn't get the tree back into the box) and boxes of ornaments and garlands. I couldn't believe it when the cashier gave her back nearly $200 without question!
*and it's quite sad that after 5 years not working in retail I still remember all the information provide above
Yeah, I'm sorry but that information is not correct and I used to work retail.
Your gift receipt is coded so that the person receiving the gift doesn't know what the cost is but has the store credit in hand if they ever need to return. The store credit is coded for the exact amount given.
Now...What DOES happen is going to a store without any receipts and returning/exchanging. At that point you will be given the value for what the product is at that point (no matter if the value increased or decreased).
I agree with everything you said but the bolded part. If you have no receipt, you will receive the lowest price the item has ever been. They will not give you MORE than what was paid for it, just because the current price is higher. So if the item was purchased at full retail price, but was on sale two weeks ago for 50% off, w/o a receipt you will receive the sale price. Otherwise people could buy stuff on sale, then return it for full price and make money.
I think this depends on the store. Kohl's gives the current price, NOT the lowest price "ever." But their prices go up and down and all over the place so much because they are always having sales!

You could actually profit from a return? That seems odd, but we don't have Kohl's around here.
2. If you want a store credit then you get the ORIGINAL selling price as a credit. You will not get cash with a gift receipt. However, if the person who bought it for you got in on sale you don't get the retail price you get the sale price. (She has had lots of folks who got upset on that one assuming that Grandma NEVER would have bought that at 40% off)

We get that all the time!!! People give you the gift receipt, and when you tell them they are only getting $5 back, they look at you like you are crazed! "But I know Grandma paid full price!" Umm, no she didn't. Grandma is a bargin shopper honey.
Like I said previously I worked retail...
Of course I am not speaking about getting cash back in the above scenario...just getting a store credit or credit towards their current purchase. If the OP is discussing cash back that might be a different story.

I have GOT to know what state you guys live in so I can research this. I SWEAR you just got a moron for a salesperson. It simply is NOT legal to refund less than the purchase price with proof of purchase!
If this is happening, then it is happening because stores are defrauding customers, NOT because it is a LEGAL policy!
