PN>  I had (am having) an interesting experience with a local
 PN>  major dealer. I purchased a holster and ammo, used
 PN>  plaxtic.  The holster was purchased with the understanding
 PN>  that it was exchangeable if it didn't fit, which it
 PN>  didn't.  When I returned to exchange it for another of the
 PN>  same price they pushed a form in front of me that had
 PN>  everything but my mother's maiden name on it.  They
 PN>  refused to make an even exchange without the information.
 PN>  I felt it was excessive and a violation of my privacy.  I
 PN>  choose not to provide most of that information when
 PN>  dealing with _anybody_.  While I recognize they are within
 PN>  their rights I don't choose to do business with folks
 PN>  under those conditions.
 PN>  Unfortunately they are going to have to learn exactly who
 PN>  I am when I bounce the credit card puchase -- which is my
 PN>  out.  They were running a sale on this line of holsters
 PN>  and they charged me retail at the point of purchase, so I
 PN>  will go back on 'em on that issue.  Sure, a lot more
 PN>  trouble than it's really worth, and sure I'm being an
 PN>  asshole, but I'm tired of having my privacy chipped away
 PN>  at at every turn.
Um, mind spilling the beans on who it is?  Since I'm local, I sure don't want
to give these guys any of my hard earned cash if I can help it.  E-mail me if
you don't want to go public with this info.  Thanks.
