Hey guys, I'm sure all of you know about the "Buy a camera... shoot your film... return camera within 30 days" plan. It was even documented in My Date With Drew. I am going to include a poll with this post.
exactly!there is always someone within driving distance who owns one, operates one and who bought it because they wanted to use it.
Having been a business owner, I find your mindset here distressing. As a small business owner, that type of business would have shut our doors (we ended up failing for other reasons). Your next argument is the robin hood argument... well, best buy is big, etc. etc... but I don't see the difference, if you're willing to do it to the large corporate enterprise, you're hurting the pocket book of your nextdoor neighbor who is a share holder in the company. So you may not be hurting the best buy employee, but someone expects to see revenue from the purchase, in the case of large corporations, the money ends up going to the share holders... i.e., me, your neighbor, anyone else who has purchased shares in a company (which the company uses as operating capital - like a loan/war bond/whatever) expecting their ROI to come from that investment.'
So no, returning the camera doesn't hurt the company or its employees for a company of that size, it hurts the investors in that company.
