Boxing Day shoppers anxious to get out to the malls Saturday are encouraged to leave their exchanges at home.
With hundreds of thousands of shoppers expected in Calgary, Chinook Centre GM Paige O’Neill said it’s a good idea to save it for later in the week.
“A lot of our retailers do have policies on no returns during Boxing Day and that is an individual store-to-store rule, but a lot of the retailers would prefer on the day that we get almost 110,000 people through the building not to be doing returns,” she said.
O’Neill also expects longer lineups than what they got on Black Friday.
CrossIron Mills GM James Moller said staff will be prepared for any types of transactions for the big day, but stores will limit returns.
“They’re trying to make sales, they just tell people to come back, that’s been going on for several years, trying to process returns and trying to process the number of customers on that day is very difficult,” he said.
