Same in Australia. A few weeks ago I took back a roast after I had cooked it and eaten a small portion. The inside was full of fat. They apologized and gave me a refund and a new roast.
I don't put up with bad quality.

I don't know where you live but here in UK you can do that. Most shops will take back and refund for goods bought if you change your mind. You dont need any reason. Shops like Asda will not only refund for food items that your not satisfied with they will give you something else free to make up for your disappointment. As for restaurants you can complain about a poor meal or service and often get a refund or a reduction.

I live in the US, and yes, with some grocery products, you can return them IF they are substandard and get your money back. You couldn't, however, buy a box of cereal, eat it, decide it wasn't all that good, and then insist on your money back -- which seems to be what you are suggesting with entertainment product. And no way could you eat a meal, say it was substandard and not have to pay for it. If you kvetch a lot, you might get it discounted, or get some coupons, but certainly no full refunds.

You always hear people say Internet Piracy hurts sales. Don't you wish someone would do a large study to find out if this is true or not? Now someone has and the results say Piracy does Not hurt sales.
