It's not really sticking it to them at all. They get to turn around and sell those movies and get their money back. They also make thier profits, because I will end up spending the store credit in there. I consider muyself just an alternate distribution system fior the Blu-Ray movies I brought in. |
They get their money back, but they loose profit. It's somewhat like piracy. The store doesn't suffer directly, but they loose the profit they would have had if they had actually sold a Blu-ray movie they had a profit margin on.
Yes, they get some profit on the other stuff you buy, but I'm not sure whether that has such a big profit margin as movies do. Also, there's no way knowing wether you would buy that stuff at that Walmart anyways, so that they get profit on that to make up for the profit they lost is also kinda uncertain.
It also creates opportunity for arbitrage. If you have an item for $10 in one store, and $15 at Walmart, you can earn $5 by trading. Hence the max. 3 times rule for returning items without reciet.
Also, it's lying. Not morally acceptable. I have no idea if it constitutes as fraud.
