I return already-worn clothes to Target and don't feel bad about it. The return policy has made me a customer for life.

• Target has a one-year return policy where it accepts store-brand items with or without a receipt.
• Bryan Tate tried the return policy and shared his experience on TikTok.
• He's used the policy about six to eight times and said he's a lifelong customer because of it.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Bryan Tate, a 35-year-old from Los Angeles, California. It has been edited for length and clarity.

When I first heard of Target's one-year return policy through a Facebook post, I was intrigued and knew I needed to try it out for myself.
