One other Wal-Mart fact you all may not know. Their CDs and DVDs are non-returnable once stock of that particular title is gone! Every sale of any music at Wal-Mart is instantly tabulated into a national data-base . So those people buying Garth Brooks box sets helped scam the record sales charts........the box did NOT count as one sale......the 6 CDs were counted as separate sales !! That crap box set he made way back when was all spurred on by a bet his manager had with some big wig (or mafia member) that Garth could dominate the charts. So by Wal Mart and other retailers agreeing to perpetrate this sham of tracking system.....they helped Garth and his shady handlers to win a bet and reach the top of the sales charts too! Pretty bad , huh?!
Also.....I bought a copy of Moonflower by Santana years ago on CD when it first came out as a reissue at Wal-Mart and it had two CD #1's in it......I opened it in my car just after buying it, walked back into the store right then(two minutes later) and they WOULD NOT give me a credit or refund since it was the last copy that store had in stock. I was enraged .....and when I gave them crap about it that's when their manager told me that all sales are tabulated immediately into the national charts ,.....and to give me a credit or another CD title would be Illegal for them since they were held accountable for each sale to be exactly for the title "just tabulated"!!!!!!! Luckily I had a friend at another record store that I bought the same CD at and returned it there for another album title.....or I'd be stuck with two copies of disc 1 of MOONFLOWER all due to Wally World! Gawd!
