Hannah, known as @hanzhanannzz on TikTok, shared a now-viral clip with her colleague, answering acceptable return and refund questions.

While wearing their Costco badges, the pair filmed at what seemed to be their back office. Their first refund revelation was that a bed sheet used for five years could still be returned for a full refund.

Second, they shared that although already dead, a Christmas tree can still be returned after the holidays for a refund.
