The only fabric I ever returned was because of a flaw that neither the cutter nor I noticed, and my JoAnn employees are good about looking for flaws. Their policy used to be that you could return anything over 1 yard just because you didn't use it. A few days ago my favorite JoAnn cutter told me the "uncut" rule and to save my receipt. Now I'm trying to remember to closely inspect fabric before adding it to my stash.

You can return it - as long as it hasn't been cut, washed, etc. AND it's more than a yard. They consider a yard or less a remnant and you can't return those 
I've worked there part time several times and when I first learned this, I was amazed!
I guess I should have added - you can't return any clearance items anymore - fabric or otherwise. All "red tag" items are sales final!

I did return a fat quarter to Joann's once. When I opened it, it had a ragged hole where the weave had skipped, apparently. But like you, I've never thought of returning cut fabric unless it was damaged in some way. Also, I've seen fat quarters in stock that have clearly been opened and folded back so I assume someone returned those.
I was also astonished to learn that people return books! I assume, too, they may have read them and just want their money back. But maybe they return books that are gifts, either because they don't want it or already have it.

I'm guilty of having returned a book when I got home and found out that I had already purchased it!! I guess I really liked that one! LOL

Well since you don't buy there often you may have missed a flyer from them. I buy 99% of my fabric there, haven't returned any yet. I watch close when they unfold it to make sure there are no problems in the fabric.
So far all my quilts have lasted together.
