Save Your Receipts

General
I'm not sure if this has ever happened to you, but this is the second time it's happened to me... you fire up your player, unwrap a brand-spanking-new DVD, and pop open the clamshell case, only to find yourself faced with a perplexing conundrum - the case is empty. No disc. No movie. Just a circle of emptiness where a DVD ought to be.
Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the receipt for the movie in question, so there's no chance of a refund or exchange. I'll have to cough up the retail price all over again. Two thoughts arise as I ponder this situation. Firstly, I'm annoyed with myself for not saving the receipt (I have no idea what I did with it, but it's gone, so that's that). Secondly, what the hell is wrong with a DVD distribution company (Anchor Bay, in this case) that they factory seal and ship out a fucking EMPTY DVD CASE? How does that even happen?

I did have the reciept, and thankfully I had no problem with an exchange for a new one (we checked it in the store, before the exchange was official).
One thing about the reciepts, many stores are using the heat sensitive paper to print the receipt...it fades with time. If your receipt is like that, make a photocopy ASAP. Otherwise it could be faded to a blank paper within a year.
No movie? Put it back on the shelf and get another one!
I remember watching a whole bunch of movies on Beta way back in the 80's. (That's how good my memory is)
from now on I am going to start opening things the same day that I buy them. :P
