+1 on the ethical stance Bullseye. Besides, if they somehow noticed that someone was moving their birthday around, don't you think they would interpret this as abusing the priviledge.
On a related note, I just got a call from my brother on Monday, apologizing for his having to send me a late Christmas present. He went to Midway too, and had ordered an 1911 Commander length holster for me, but Midway shipped him a 5" gov't model. He spilled the beans to me on the present, asking if a Commander will fit into a full size holster (he's not that into firearms, but knows I've gotten back into 1911s).
He took a screenshot of the on-line chat exchange he had with a Midway CS rep - it was hilarious and aggravating at the same time - the CS rep insisted that since a commander can fit into a full size 1911 holster, there was no problem, and that Midway did not have wrong info on the product listing, even though the packaging my bro received said "for 5" Government models".
The CS rep also typed that there was no such thing as a Commander length holster, nobody makes one.
After what I went though last week, I thought this was priceless.
He emailed me a picture of the label, and it indeed was clearly marked as a full size 5" holster. But I told my bro that I would be thrilled by the present, in any case he has 90 days to return it. I was bemused by all this, but my brother was pretty agitated, as he runs major sales and CS teams, and this apparently frosted his professional sensibilities.
But, is this the new sales standard? So when I go into Macy's for a size 38 pants, they should say take a size 44, since you can "fit into it"? LOL.
I just think this is getting funny at this point, it looks like a family affair with Midway.
