anyone else had any funny experiences with a computer store?

I tried to return some ram because memtest said it had error and kept giving me kernal panics in linux. I took it down to him, the guy at the shop i bought it from. He tested it by running norton ghost in dos. I told him memtest detected errors but he said memtest was crap. So eventually he gave me another stick of ram but it was only a 128mb stick marked as 256mb. So i got a credit at their stupid store and i get a dvd burner from them.
