I boycott Radioshack

Well radioshack... you know the old joke... dunno if they still do it. Why do they need your phone number/address when you buy a battery???? I always wonder that. I think technically if you pay with visa or any credit card... they have no right to ask that.
Stores I would boycott...
telus-horrible customer service... but really have limited choice. Primus and sprint are worse.
Techtronics in calgary.... some computer store, i had some problems with the manager there over a simple problem, broken part in less than 7 days.
Soundsaround.... extended warranty there is a rip as with any other place. Yet my warranty was still good, took them 3 months to replace a good or repair it.
most places where they get excessively.... bothersome about helping you. Too much pressure from salespeople is stupid.
THE STORE I BOYCOTT IN EDMONTON. IT is across from the casino in west ed....
Honest story...
Never buy sh*t from a store that sells weed pipes. I was buying some rock and roll memorabilia from this store... they do have some cool t-shirts i bought these t-shirts... no change room.I kinda eye it and purchase the good... She gives me a recent and i go home and realize it doesn't fit. In 1 hr i go back... She says "no REFUNDS ORRRR exchanges." I was like... "commmon this was one hour ago and where is this written on the receipt.. or anywhere in the store. ""Nope Nope .... you bought it. You keep it." "but common.... you didn't tell me anything nor did it say that anywhere" Then she slides this shelf out of the way... and behind the shelf... guess what it says "NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES".... shouldn't this be a little bit more visibile, not hidden behind a some shelf, where you can't see it. Obviously i got a bit mad...
"Thats it... you give me a refund... or else"... "NO!!!" Then I was like "just give 50% back then... " i was getting kinda annoyed.... "YOU WANT ME TO CALL SECURITY.... you come in this store... you obey my rules. LEAVE NOW. NO REFUND... get out!" She seriously picked up the phone and started dialling. What an idiot. So then I gave her the finger and just walked out screaming obscenities... Down 60 bucks after this incident.
Part of this...
The lady working their had this minority accent, thats what made it more humourous... and i was laughing my so hard afterwards. It was closest thing to the "soup nazi" on seinfeld.
