Boy! Most of the instances I have seen, they put it back on the
friggin shelf and sell it again!

The scumbags are on both sides of the market.

There was this couple in a Bunnings (Oz HF, and be careful who you are
buying from in USA) who had a chaninsaw that had a tag on the upper
handle. It was faulty. the female half was really panting to get into
a fight, and managed to do so, with store guys who were simply
standing there. Bull terrier type, she was.....

But she had a point. AFAICFO, (not hard, the whole bloody shop could
hear this) the saw was on the shelf, last available. The couple were
reassured that the sticker bit was OK, the saw had been through
service and was fully finctional.

It wasn't. Betting is, it had simply been plonked back on the shelf.

I have actually returned an item of electronic eqipt, and specifically
said that it was stuffed. Do NOT put it back on the shelf. I came back
1/2 hour later and there it was.....

I think alot of stores damage throwaway items on purpose to keep the
scumbags from getting it and trying to return for cash....I got a buddy that
works at a local Home Depot and thats what they do.....really ****es me off
some of the stuff I hear about.

They have "people" that buy things one day, return it the next day, and then
come back and try to buy the item at a discount !!!

I must be too honest, cause I couldn't even come up with some of these ideas
!!
Another example of the dickheads ruining it for the rest of us !!
