Not to mention, bent pins could very well have happened at the manufacturer, not the retailer.
Reminds me of one of my "favorite" retail stories. When I worked at Staples, during back to school it was common practice to open the graphing calculators for customers so they could make sure it had the features they needed for their class. This one lady, after sucking 20 minutes of my time looking at different calcs, having us open 5 different ones, finally says, "This is perfect! Can I have one that's still sealed?" Never mind the fact that she just watched us unseal the damn thing so she could examine it! Stupid lady...
