You describe dependency going in both directions, but why does it have to be about either one being dependent ? Why not just treating each other right ? Is that so bad of a concept anymore ? I remember my first experience with a big box tech store as opposed to the smaller local store where I knew the owners name, and he knew if I would lie about the return or not. He made out because I didn't break the product, and then try to send it back as a defect. Now, I purchased a printer that was defected, and they told me that I was not to deal with them, but instead deal with the manufacturer of the product instead. Ok, so I called the manufacturer where I was put on hold for almost an hour so I hung up. I tried again, and got the run around. After really being aggressive with the situation, I finally got them to take the printer back. They then sent me a box, and I had to ship it to them. I felt like the situation was set up in hopes that I would have given up due the aggravation of it all. A feller I know bought a tool box for his pick up from K-Mart at a deal because it was damaged. He then went to Walmart and exchanged it for a brand new one without a receipt. He said that he told them he purchased it there, and they let him exchange it with no questions ask ? Wow, now how stupid was that situation ?
