Reddit's r/lifeprotips recommends abusing Cali law to force stores to give returns

This whole thread is facepalm.
Quick backstory.
OP made a mistake buying candles from a store. He wants to return them, but store doesnt want to, and shouldnt be obligated to because its not the stores fault. It was OP's. Store allows OP to take store credit. OP abuses the law to cash out the gift cards as Cali mandates stores to cash them out if under $10, and OP asked for gift cards with low value so he can do just that.

Some interesting comments(paraphrased):
Its a big business so they can handle the loss, more than OP.
Its not morally wrong because they get the item back.(despite the fact that the item is worth less than the money to the store, the reason why the store is selling the item. Plus its more difficult to plan for margins without knowing your inventory/cash. Most importantly, the store owner doesnt want to return)
You are defending the 1% (I dont even want to respond to this, but many investors in the company are nowhere near 1%ers, plus theres no reason why rich people should be targets for theft)
Sorry if this is a Junk thread, just thought you guys might be interested. Also I lean more libertarian than most, so you may disagree with me.
