[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1775948, member: 42463"] I worked "off the farm" in Bentonville Arkansas. Guess where... I even have a note written to me personally from one of the big nuts in the general offices for something I did. One of those life's treasures things that get saved. I visited the general offices to do work, free lancing, outside of my employment. And you would not believe the discussions had in the cloistered and closely guarded inner circles. It's not that I can't prove it... it's that it would serve no purpose. But I can suggest a way to prove it to yourself. Next time you buy some kind of crap off a shelf, something that doesn't work right out of the box (I could suggest a few specific items), put it back in the box and return it, marking the box so you know you bought it. Be sure you tell the person that the item is defective when you return it. Then go back into the store and buy another one. When you bring the second one back because it didn't work, do the same thing, marking the box on return and telling them it is defective. Then go buy a third one and look to see if your first one is back on the shelf to be resold. If there are five identical boxes when you begin, mark each one as you return each of them so you don't buy the same one more than once. After you've bought every box and returned them all defective you can tell me if all the returned defects are back on the shelf to be resold. You can do this wherever there is a store. I could explain why you get the results you get, but that's more involved. Still something I know... and not just something overheard as a rumor. As for saying it to them directly... I did. More than once. And yes, there are dishonest Mom and Pops. I have one of those in my town now. The scale is different there, too... [/QUOTE]
