I still haven't seen a definitive answer here from the state AG, or even a legal citation, proving Dick's was in violation of any law. But let's assume for discussion that they were.
The guy who wastes his time, Dick's time, the AG's time, and now our time over a rain check is the same guy who forces us all to wait in line at the store while he counts his pennies, gets the clerk to recheck a price, and buys a dozen lottery tickets. It's the same guy who makes a fuss at the restaurant over MSG and asks for substitutions. It's the same guy who charges a pack of cigarettes on his credit card while ten people wait at the news stand behind him. It's the same guy who calls police every time the neighbor's kid climbs the fence to get his frisbee back. Whether Dick's violated some obscure consumer regulation or not, what "Poor Richard" did is called "tourist behavior" around here. And around here, those are strong words.
