The Barnes and Noble around me (NYC) was much more permeable.

I actually received my STR on June 8th... I got a regular and gift receipt because the Gift one has 60 (I think) days to return if I wanted to...

I brought my STR into the store today (July 1st), along with my Sony 950, and expected to ask very kindly and graciously if I could get in on this promotion (even though it obviously wasn't meant for me) , prepared to show them my 950 and gift receipt.

I asked one of the floor staff, and he walked over to a manager who said sure. I never even had to take out my 950.

EDIT: I went to the one on 86th and Lexington Ave, for anyone in NYC. I would call them beforehand to make sure the workers currently there are still willing to do this.

It sounds like the workers who denied you because of the reader list were really at their core being complete douchebags, because since there is no official record of which reader is shown when you walk in, they could just have personally decided to help, with no recourse.
