It's not laughable. We are trying to protect our own rights by talking some common sense into those who would free-ride, defraud, and otherwise abuse the system because it seems trivial to them (and trivial to you) when it hurts the rights and privileges of everybody as a whole.
Because businesses have to pay for theft prevention and deal with inventory fraud, the rest of us slowly lose our liberal return/refund privileges (there are many examples of this in retail) and ultimately have to pay more for our goods and services and have fewer avenues of recourse when a purchase goes bad.
