Of course, those ethics may include a too liberal return policy,

out, and then taking them back. Then Radio Shack is stuck with
radios that aren't really used, but have been out of the box.

A liberal return policy has to be made up somewhere.

The problem here is quite easy to understand (for most people). My
kids bought me a Grundig radio from Radio Shack out of their own money
for Christmas. I noticed a difference in the way it tunes compared to
my older model, and I posted the question about it here.

My kids bought and paid for what they believed was NEW radio. I have
suspicions that it is not new, but a customer return. I am entitled
to a new radio.

Hopefully, RS will soon disappear !

Just, one more reason to hate RS ! Great company, to choose for the
Big HD Radio Rollout !
