And it makes problems for other people. I got a backup power supply
once on which some asshole had done that with the battery. Also got a
modem, didn't work, took it back to BestBuy, swapped it out, that one
didn't work, talked to the store manager and ended up going through
five of the things before we found one that worked.

Part of the blame is shared by employees who don't listen or just don't
care.

I took back a faulty item to Walmart and told the returns clerk that it
didn't work. She put it in the cart behind the counter. As I walked back
to the aisle to get another, I saw a stock guy bringing the same box I'd
just returned to restock the shelf. I told him that I'd just returned it
because it didn't work properly and he thanked me for telling him and
said, "They [return desk] do that all the time."

That's one reason I never buy a box that's be opened and taped shut.
