SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- What are the rules when returning items to a store? Michael Finney has a 7 On Your Side quick tip for you!

And that means there needs to be a sign, and that sign needs to be right next to the cash register. If there isn't a sign, the state just assumes they have given you seven days to return the item. Now, what is the catch in all of this? They're allowed to ask for a receipt.

Take a look at more stories and videos by Michael Finney and 7 On Your Side.
