A data recovery company may be able to recover data off it as well. Don't believe Futureshop. They know nothing more about computers than your average highschooler.

Good advice but just to clarify, I do have everything backed up in many places and the USB drive was only used to transfer between systems. I was more in shock than anything that this could happen haha. It appears that I have everything I need backed up in various other places but the inconvenience set me back a day or so time wise. Oh well.
