At SinPantalones we read about shopping for its own sake. Is this behavior common?

I think it might be more common than I’d ever have realized.
One of my neighbors works at Dillards, and they actually have a formal policy in place for this insane behavior. If you return too high a percentage of your purchases, they eventually refuse to allow you returns at all.
The corporation for which I work doesn’t have such a policy in place, unfortunately.
Street-rat-crazy, these women are.
I also do this, but with two slight differences from the norm.
First, I’m male. Most therapeutic shoppers are female.
Second, I only buy what I’ll keep. Buying something just to return it later is not shopping, but zero-money-down short-term leasing instead.
