WALMART Return Practice

So I had bought 2 Cloud Cuckoo from Walmart last week, but both boxes were beat up pretty bad. I found CC at a few other places and decided that I would just return the two beat up boxes along with three Turbo Tank mini's that I had picked up as well. I got up to the service desk and the clerk looked at what I was returning and asked why I was returning them. I told her because the boxes were beat up, and that we changed our minds about the turbo tanks. She examined the seals on all the boxes carefully, looked at a co-worker and asked"We have to open these right?". Needless to say I was a little surprised, but seining the condition the two CC boxes I figured that was the reason. But after opening both CC, she proceeded to tear open all three Turbo Tank boxes, which where in perfect condition. I asked if they did that for all Lego returns and she said yes. Is this common practice at all Walmarts?
