Yet another customer discovered the truth about Crappy Tire's policy for unsatisfactory products: if it's been used, you own it.
This customer found out the hard way that the Crappy Policy is "... drastically different than all other major stores".
It's impressive that they devoted their valuable time to educate their fellow-consumers, "so that others are spared from this experience and potential loss of ability to obtain a full cash refund."

I assume the Crappy People will offer up the usual lame excuse: it is up to all consumers to stop by Customer Service before they make any purchases, to find out the real policies that will apply to each item.
Sadly, consumers are still incorrectly assuming that Crappy Tire is like all the other stores, and will stand behind what they sell.
Yes, consumers have to learn to apply the adage "Buyer Beware" each time they venture into a Crappy Tire store.
I also expect the Crappy People will claim that this unlucky consumer should have devoted sufficient research effort prior to purchasing a simple dehumidifier, so that they would have fully understood every mode of operation, and thus known that the fan operates continuously.
Yes, Crappy People are fond of blaming consumers for every problem that arises.
Well, we are sorry for what you went through, Cambridge Consumer!
But thanks for helping get the word out!
Well done!
