"It's our way or the highway!" I may be mad, I say " You ought to give it to me, but the bottom line is this. They own the merchandise and they have the right to distribute it as they see fit. Now the way I see it is this. They have a right to do what they want to with what is there own.
This is, I guess the point I was trying to make in another thread, when all I succeeded in doing was alienating everyone.  |
And when they have accepted my cash, the merchandise becomes mine, and I have every right to fair use of the product. If the product is a book, I have the right to read it, on any equipment that I rightfully own!
I also have serious issues with stores that insist on seeing my receipt before they will let me out of the store. Once they have accepted my money the merchandise becomes my personal property, and the merchant has forfeit any rights to it, including looking through my packages before I can leave.
