Bill couldn't have hit this one on the head any better. It doesn't matter that it's Best Buy. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter who it is, federal, state, local gov't, the guy down the block or some faceless corporate giant, the fact is you should stand up for every transgression against your rights as an American citizen. I had a government teacher once tell me that our rights are a lot like our muscles. You have to exercise them regularly or they atrophy away. You have to use them or you will lose them.
I'm not saying that by standing up to Best Buy is on par with our founding father's throwing off their 'chains of tyranny,' but it's a start and it gets you moving in the right direction.
Secret made a fantastic point as well. The sale is final and the property that once was theirs is now yours. Yours; like your wallet, your car keys, your sweater, your glasses and you've got the receipt to prove it. Yes, it's their property you're standing on and they can ask you to leave, but they can't sift through your stuff
just because.
