The Super Friends was a classic Saturday Morning cartoon that feature

Wonder Dog. These characters were quickly replaced by the Wonder Twins
Zan and Jayna. Yet they would find themselves having a dark revival
in DC comics itself decades later in the pages of Teen Titans, Oracle
& Batgirl. Did these characters deserve more? Or should they be left
to fade into the background? See for yourself here on Casually Comics!

HOW RETAILERS LIKE T.J. MAXX AND HOME DEPOT QUIETLY TARGET 'PROBLEM' RETURNERS:
It's no secret that retailers are cracking down on returns.

In 2023, 81% of U.S. retailers implemented pay-to-return policies in some capacity. Amazon, Macy's, T.J.Maxx,
Walmart and Staples all rolled out changes to their established return policies. That may look like shrinking
return windows, charging for some returns, or in some cases simply telling shoppers to "keep it"

Shoppers racked up more than $5 trillion worth of retail sales in the U.S. last year, according to the National
Retail Federation. About 14.5% of those sales were returned. That equates to an enormous value in returned
goods: $743 billion in 2023 alone.

"Most of the returns that come back cost up to 40% of the original retail price to put that item back on the
shelf," said Robert Overstreet, Iowa State assistant professor of supply chain management. "There's no guarantee
they can sell it for what they originally asked for it, so they're losing money on both ends."

The recent changes are just the latest effort to tamp down on return losses. Many large retailers in the U.S.
have long been engaged in the practice of quietly tracking and targeting return behavior. According to a report
by The Wall Street Journal, U.S. retailers use third-party loss-prevention services to track risky return
behavior. This doesn't outright mean fraudulent activity, but rather behavior that "mimics" or could be linked
to such behavior.

The most notable third-party loss-prevention service is The Retail Equation, a software provider that tracks
return behavior that retailers deem potentially fraudulent. It then assigns a return score to shoppers based on
the data provided by retailers, giving the software the ability to override a store's return policy, leaving
shoppers with no refund and a printed notice directing them to The Retail Equation's website to explain why
their return was blocked.

The problem is, many shoppers are unaware this type of tracking is even happening, leaving many feeling
blindsided when they get to a return counter and are told they are not getting their money back. Or, even worse,
they get banned from the practice of returning products to the store altogether.

According to several now-dismissed lawsuits and Better Business Bureau complaints, customers reported they were
following a store's return policy and were still issued a warning. Some customers complained the information
found on their report given by The Retail Equation was incorrect and that they were left with no way of knowing
or remedying the information until after their return was rebuffed.

Watch the video above to hear more about how this tracking works and what types of behaviors might get a shopper
flagged as a 'problem returner'.

THE $2,000 FACETIME BOX FROM 1987:
Video calling technology is such a mundane feature of smartphones now
that it would be weird if a device didn't have it. But the idea for
the first FaceTime is buried deep in vintage tech history, all the way
back in the 70's... the 1870's. And most people hated the idea of it.

By the time Mitsubishi's VisiTel videophone graced the cover of Popular
Science in 1988, video calling had already gone through generations of
inventions, advances, and serious setbacks. When we finally acquired a
pair of brand new VisiTel phones to make one single video phone call,
humanity had already been through billions of dollars of failures, misguided
promises, and losing gambles -- including by Bell Labs, likely the most
innovative company of the 20th century.

It's been 150 years since we started thinking about and criticizing
live video communication. And we still haven't fully answered the
technology's most basic question: does anyone really want to be seen?
