This is known as cross-retailer return fraud or price arbitrage fraud if there is a difference between the purchase price and the refund price.
The problem has historically caused retailers to raise prices for shoppers in order to offset the losses incurred from fraudulent returns. Alternatively, many stores have created stricter return policies such as “no receipt, no return” or imposed return time restrictions such as a 30-day limit on all returns that impact all shoppers.
Everybody that thinks like you hurts the rest of us.
