I've seen it too. Probably the same sort of thinking that says it's OK
to remove price tags if you can thereby screw up the store pricing
system and get a better deal.
I have taken to checking very closely and taking stuff with flaws up,
along with a anotoher known good copy to carry out a side by side
comparision. Sometimes I can get a further price break, sometimes not.
Now, arguably, you can call Consumer Affairs and get the parts replaced
but to my way of thinking it's the store that should be suffering the
loss there, not TLC. I wonder if CA goes back to the store if they have
a lot of incidents? Probably not
