Sir G, I feel your pain. I briefly worked in retail, on the floor no less. Briefly.

After about a week I fully understood the company policy of NOT allowing employees to purchase firearms from their store.
Anyway Z, you have my sympathy, but I'm not sure a boycott would count for much from me, simply because we don't even have EB Games or Gamestop, or any of that stuff in this part of the world.

You know... it's not the retail I hate. I'm not in sales, I'm in merchandising, so most of my anger is directed towards the bratty 15 year old employees who just don't care about their job that come in at night and screw up my department. But, another thing I just can't stand is misdirected anger at something. Timber, you're wasting your time... NOONE will (at least, no smart company should) return a product without a reciept, price tag on it or not. That's just common sense.
Ziroc- I agree with you, a restocking fee doesn't make much sense for a defective product. It does still make extra work for the inventory people, since they have to ensure that everything is there, pack it all back up, change stuff on the computer, get it on a skid... I know why it's there, but I like you don't think it should be there if it's returned the next day. I don't make the policies though, so what can you do.
