I wasn't going to say anymore, but this made me laugh. Do l have a ____ing gun pointed at Walmarts head saying give me the money. They give you the same amount for the item they sell it for and still make money. After the transaction they are not in the red, so it is NOT stealing.

Example. l take the movie back, they give me walmart money for what the item is worth, lets say $25. They then put that item on the shelf and sell it, they get their $25 back they are now even in the transaction (no money gained or lost). Then the $25 gift card they gave me l spend at their store where they make another $25 off me, so they made money, you still call that stealing

Who knows, l better be careful when exchanging a legit bought item, l even said it's from Best Buy, the clerk didn't care, l guess she is my accomplice and will go to the bighouse with me, actually Walmart itself is my accomplice as well, they know they take unopened items bought from other stores, guess they are stealing other stores products (even though the movie/item l bring in is mine, no longer the possesion of the previous store since l paid for it).

I am sure if Walmart was losing money by taking in exchanges for items without receipts they would put a stop to it, yet they continue to do so, so l am sure they know what they are doing, they're not stupid.

LMAO !

Simple math

E.g.

Return item = $-20.00
Sell Item = $20.00
Profit Margin = 0
True Profit Margin if you include overhead would actually put you at a loss.

E.g. 2

Return item = $-20.00
Sell Item on Sale = $10.00
Profit Margin = $-10.00
Once again, True Profit Margin is at a greater net loss when you include overhead.

I wasn't going to say anymore, but this made me laugh.

Okay. It's not stealing, but still blatently dishonest.

I'll bend and go with my brother Stormy ...

I guess you aren't being dishonest if you go into the store and say, "These were purchased somewhere else, can I return them here instead and get a store credit?" Then you are totally at the mercy of their return policy. But if you approach them dishonestly or deceptively, it's wrong.

Target requires your driver's license for returns without a receipt, the cumulative limit per person is $75 worth of store credit per year, and the return value is automatically lowered to their lowest sale price of the last 90 days. So more and more stores are putting some policies in place to protect themselves from being taken advantage of in situations like this. Retailers have had to shift their philosophies from "The customer is always right" to "The customer is probably trying to steal from you as creatively as possible, all while looking you straight in the eye with a smile on their face." I worked retail customer service for about three years right after I got married, and if there was a way for a customer to try and abuse the system, they would try it.

I think that at some level, all thieves can justify their actions to themselves, and there is a bit of a spectrum of unethical behavior that requires us to examine ourselves and draw a line in the sand at some point. But not everybody's line is in the same place. Some people want to get as close to the edge of the law as possible, while some people want to treat others the way they might like to be treated if the tables were turned.

Update to my original post (quoted below).

I decided to order early. Screw it. Stuff was on sale now.

My indoctrination has begun.

My first post in this thread.
I've had a 42" Panasonic 1080p plasma Tv for a little over 4 years now. For a year and a half my only HD content was my Xbox 360. Then I got DirecTv HD installed. I got an HD-DVD drive for my Xbox riiiight before the format died.

I've finally decided to get Blu Ray after all this time. I've been debating whether I should get a PS3 or not. I understand that today's stand alone players perform better with both Blu Ray discs and upconverting standard DVD (according to an article in the latest PC World magazine).

Once I get my tax return this year I'll be ordering a Panasonic DMP-BDT210 and the following list of movies.

Sunshine
Southland Tales
Black Swan
The Mist
Predator (Ultimate Hunter Edition)
Alien Anthology
Legend (already own on DVD but...)
The Fountain (own on HD-DVD and DVD, but... favorite all time movie)

Absolutely. My brother was just stationed in Korea for a few years. He told me how much of a difference their culture is in comparison to others'. He left his wallet and fancy iPhone on the table of the restaurant he just ate at. Someone walked 3 blocks to return everything to him. He told me there was about $100 in his wallet and whatever the phone was worth.

Whoever you are, tomandshell, I love you.

Very eloquently stated.

Yup, just checked, it is Cumberland. I think a NJ meet would be awesome!

There's a couple more of us around here too. Got to find them again. The only other one I know for sure is Xerowolf.

Btw, just finished watching "Sunshine", and boy oh boy. I thought I loved that movie before, but now that I finally got to watch it in true HD... well, I think you all know.
