Some of the blame must go to the gift givers as well by locking you in the situation. That sounds ungrateful and it's not meant to but I get gift cards for xmas a lot since I'm big into computers and all my relatives are n00bs who don't know memory from storage so they get a gift card to avoid trying to buy me shit I don't want or need. I'm then forced to go to Best Buy to get a new SD Flash card when Office Depot has it on sale for $20 less. Visa has those throw away credit cards now. I wish to hell I could get one of those next year.
As for greed, what did you expect? It's a corporation. If they could get away with it they'd take your money and give you a bag of shit in return. BTW what sportings goods store was it? I'll make my best effort to not shop there after they hire rude managers like that, no matter where it is you live. My gf doesn't give a shit about this stuff tho so we may end up spending $ there anyway.
