FS and BB putting wrong serial numbers on receipts?
I was checking today to be sure that I have recorded the serial numbers on my AV gear, after a reminder on the radio this week that the police would like to have that information if you report a theft. To my surprise I found that while almost every receipt I have from Future Shop and Best Buy has a "Serial Number" recorded on it, it was wrong in every case. Not only would that lead to me reporting the wrong serial number if the corresponding gear was ever stolen, it makes me wonder what would happen if I needed service under an extended warranty for a unit that has the wrong serial number recorded on the receipt.
Is it carelessness? A sleazy attempt to weasel out of warranty service? Or something else?
I'd be curious to know what other people find on their FS and BB receipts!
