so i can walk into the apple store and switch it for another color for free and with no receipt?
yes, of course. (slight sarcasm, slight seriousness.) I am not condoning theft nor any act of dishonesty, just stating that you CAN do it, (kinda like kids asking teachers in elementary school can i go to the bathroom.)
This is like saying in walmart, couldn't you go to the back of the store, buy something, go to the front, pay for it, then come back with receipt, go to the back of the store, pick it up, back to the front to return at customer service.
Bose headphones, Senheissers (sp?) were subjected to this scam at my local electronic store.
like with everything, they have security cameras and people working there to watch out for this kind of stuff.
kinda like asking if you can just slip that $50 makeup item into ur pocket and walk out.
There are cameras that see everything. No honest man in a western store would be wrongly persecuted since video evidence is key to any charge or conviction.
