Isn' it just possible there is a better FLGS in your town (that takes refunds without the need for you to arrange for shipping the item and a delay in your refund), as opposed to all your game store hating? You act like the only possible reason to decide between one place to buy the books and another is a small discount.
Actually i have been to many gaming and comic stores, but often far between. the main problem is unless they have competition they can get away with the crap that makes the NSFLGS legend. Seeing the 'NO REFUNDS' sign is often exibit 'a' of such a place. Some game stores have been becoming more forgiving in the refunds department of recent
My FLGS is usally pretty good, but has LIED to me many times in the past and another i sent to them in good faith .
The 'it is not out yet' lie is nearly unforgivable in the information age. It realy irritates me that they think i am a slack jawed fool who does not have a clue when the books get released.
Also rather than admit they don't want to fill out a customs form to canada, they told a potential mail order customer they were 'all out' of the wotc black dragon. i wound up going there myself, bought it and mailed it out. It really irked me since i had made a point to name drop them at wizards board during the time when they had four or five of the wotc Black dragons collecting dust on thier shelves.
This ain't directed at leisure hours.
with apologies to Die, die, die my darling
Die, die, die my game store
Never refunded a single sale
Die, die, die my game store
Your god damn store smells stale
I'll be seeing you again
Yeah, I'll be seeing you in hell
So don't cry to me weird peter
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me oh Game store
Your patrons reek like week old socks
Don't cry to me comic guy
Had to know the future was on-line
Don't cry to me oh fatbeard
I’m sick of that ‘Not out yet’ line
Don't cry to me El stink-o
And now your buyers run out the door
Don't cry to me old gamer
Die, die, die my game store
You won’t rip me off any more
Die, die, die my game store
And bathe your smelly help
