Well, on the other side of the fence, sometimes companies really DO try to fuck their customers.
I have this forum I frequent for bargains and shit - coupons, sales, freebies... all that kind of shit. You should SEE the hoops people are willing to jump through to get something for free. It's insane.
Not to even MENTION the ethics of some of those people. They are exactly those sorts of people who say "The customer is always right" and get away with it, pillaging shops across the nation.

Oh god, you go to fatwallet? I hate those people so much. Whenever I'm at Best Buy and there's a great sale going on with something you
know it's going to be poached by FW people. The worst I remember was during the Circuit City $5 game sale a few years ago. I went in, picked up a few games that I was interested in playing (got Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS2 for $5 which is pretty much the best deal ever) and didn't get any duplicates (should've gotten a second Disgaea for my roommate, but I felt guilty taking the last copy). Then some jerkoff wanders up and starts grabbing every $5 game he can. Including the ones that had already gone to $5 at other stores and there wasn't a chance he'd be able to sell for over $1 on ebay. Also seen a FWer in BB buying eight of those tv-dvd player systems which I had just seen a thread for on FW earlier that day saying how to flip it for something like $20 each.
People like them ruin your ability to return gifts without a receipt and pretty much any other nicety that companies try to offer.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
