Stores: Futureshop.. Possibly a bunch of thieves?
Mon, 09 Jan 2006

Update Jan 9 2006: I win! See below.

And so it begins, another wonderful saga between a lone consumer and a greedy corporation whose snake-oil salesmen will take your money and brand you a crook when you try and return the faulty purchase. I imagine some number of people might just take this, but me -- I'm at the end of my string with taking crap from Corporate America -- I'll make as big a stink as I have to in order to get real service. At best, they'll try and be helpful and return my hard-won money. At worst I'll be out of pocket a few bucks and a few minutes preparing a website, and hopefully a few thousand people will hear the story and deprive Futureshop a few sales. As a consmer, what else can you do?

Pleasingly, theres already a website it looks like; now thats service. Check out FutureShopSucks.com

(I realize this is a mere $50 purchase, but such is my rage. How many times a year do companies try and rip you off? (hell, I've blogged about 2 or 3 companies in the last year, and thats only the ones that really annoyed me.))

I'll post updates as they come; I'm that sort of anal guy ;)
