I've bough stuff that was refurbished that the store didnt know was refurbished, because it was done at the factory. At least it sounds like the store is taking care of you so really thats cool, sounds more like its an inconvienience than anything else.
But yeh it does bug me when shit like that happens, it has only happened twice, both times at best buy, once with a digital picture frame that came pre loaded with some dudes pictures, and once with a computer game that came with save data already written on the disk (3.5" floppy disk, it was a few years ago). Plus who knows how many other times I have bought stuff and just didnt know about it yet
