[seceret LNT worker]

Great. I hope we aren't taking any returns.

[LNT shopper]

Nope. Some of us were smart enough to do our returns two days ago.

[LNT Worker - MN]

My understanding is returns will take place with a receipt only and the purchase date has to be fore 10/15/08.

[Secret LNT worker]

Okay....I'm still in the dark. I won't know anything until I go in this evening. What about gift cards, are we still accepting them as a form of payment?

[LNT Worker - MN]

My understanding is as of today LNT is taking Cash, Credit Cards, Gift Cards, Mechandise Cards. They are NOT taking LNT coupons, Competitor Coupons, NT credit cards or checks.

[al12were]

No LNT Reward Certificates, no in store pickups, chargesends, we can no longer put anything on hold, no gift registry..

[secret LNT worker]

Well, I'm finally in the know. Had to work on my days off...that's okay, getting extra cash while I can. Ya, no coupons at all, no LNT credit card, no personal checks, all sales are final, you can only return an item if you receipt is dated 8/15/08 to 10/15/08, before that you keep it, no recepit you keep it, after that you keep it.

What about our earned vacation time? Anybody know what we can do with that? Do we even get it?

[former lnt employee]

merced store had poor management all the store manager was wooried about was sleeping with the next female employee this was reported to coporate and they blew it off so the company got what they deserved

[LNT credit card]

So since they are bankrupt what about the credit card. Will they stop accepting payments and the card gets canceled?????

[JDP]

They won't take their own credit cards any more, only gift cards.

The craziest thing about it is that right now all kitchen stuff is 20% off. I stopped by today and that is the dept most being emptied out. These people could have been getting 40% off right along if they really needed or wanted the stuff. They are paying more for the stuff then they would have before.

[MAD SHOPPER]

I bought two Sharper Image Air Sanitizers from Linen and Things two days ago and after researching the products I found out that it produces ozone in the air and is not that effective in cleaning the air. I don't want my money back I just want something else in return because the product I purchased doesn't benefit my sister that has asthma. I was even excited when I purchased them that I bought two and now I'm stuck with two worthless products and I'm out $260.00.

[TOO BAD]

Should have done your research BEFORE you went shopping!

[Buyer beware]

They have no problem selling you broken things. I wouldn't buy anything at all from them since they are not supporting their products. At the very least wait until the prices are bargain basement. We bought something that was broken and they would not exchange. Even stores going out of business have a responsibility to take care of their customers.

[Vlander]

I have about $200 in gift cards from this store, and online it says gift cards are no longer accepted. How am I supposed to get my money back?

[Eric]

You cant! Too bad.

[Roni Oceanside CA]

I also have about $100 their gift card. So, there is no way I can get my money back? That is really unfair.
Anybody, any idea can help?
Thanks!
