Do I need to? I assume that you can read the thread. The initial post is a complaint about a game store not operating like the poster thinks that it should. Nearly every subsequent post is a "Right on, brother!" gripe about other anecdotal instances in which stores are 'bad' because they fail to operate as those posters feel that they should. Then you have the fallacious "The customer is always right!" stuff dribbling in toward the end.
I'm aware thet the idea of a retailer not being controlled solely by the individual consumer is an unpopular one, but that's the reality of retail. As an individual, the consumer has no power over how a store owner chooses to operate their business. The final decision of how things get done is up to the retailer, not you (the individual consumer). Again, the individual consumer isn't nearly as important as they like to think they are.
If a store's success or failure really does hinge on the patronage of one individual, then that store has problems in steep excess of poor customer service.
