Fortunately my reputation doesn't rest on your words...I don't own a store
and I don't know where the hell you got the idea that I laughed at the buyer.
I hand-carried the SIMMS across campus to the buyer and placed the SIMMS in
the buyer's hands - along with the warranty...a few seconds after the buyer
hand the SIMMS in hand - he dropped them, and I told him if he had problems
I would (AT MY COST) FEDEX the SIMMS back to the manufacturer, which the
buyer has now agreed to do.

I am sure even you, with your narrow view of this situation, has seen signs
in stores stating "You break it - you've bought it."
