I looked at a stove at Home Depot the other day. I was ready to buy
one. They have "free" delivery and they carry away the existing
stove.

The stove I was looking at was around 600 bucks. The "free" delivery
was a gift card that you had to use in the store.

Then they wanted to charge me another 15 bucks for the cord. I
said...why can't you use the one that is on the existing stove.

They said it would void the warrantee. I walked out.

New dishwashers do not come with a cord, so you MUST use the old one.
What's up with that? Why is it so different than a range? Both cords are
manufactured, installed, and used for the specific usage they were intended
for. I'd spring for a new cord, even though the old one would last as long
as the new range. But yes, it does seem silly, and they got you by the
grapes anyway.
