So if wanting a good cable, it's not that correct to say: "I went on the shop, bought a cable, and it's crap". If doing a little of search, maybe choosing not to buy today, but doing a personal information about, results on finding (maybe not locally, maybe on online shops, maybe not shipping in 2 hours) the good one cable, or whatever other device - imho.
Specially when it comes to tech. And specially when talking about cables, if them are cheap plastic * in 2/3 years will become quite stiffened plastic (silicone or a better product wouldn't).
Sorry for the long write.
Edit: preceeded.
* (PVC plastic ones, e.g. are the most common),

I've seen plenty of cables in shops including shops in airports where the cables are not properly labeled. So you buy the cable and take your chances. You may not have a choice if you find you need a cable now but all you can get is an unknown cable.
For me, when I go on vacation, I make sure and bring cables with me. I bring more cables then I'll probably need. And now I know I need some specific cables. I need the USB-C cable for my phone/watch charger that came with it. I need a USB-A/USB-C cable as my Surface Pro 2 only has a USB-A port. I also bring my multi-cable as my wife may be bringing something that needs microUSB. It's crazy how many cables we may need.
