Our store manager was telling us this today.
A year or two ago, he bought a Westinghouse LCD TV from our store. It recently shit the bit, so he began calling around to find a repairman or a parts supplier.
He ended up calling a local mom-and-pop electronics store. The guy there asked store manager where he bought the TV from and he told us our store.
Mom-and-pop store guy responds: "Oh. Those TVs that Westinghouse, Philips, JVC, etc, produce for the big box stores don't have all the parts in them, so they fail faster."
Yeah, okay, sure, whatever. Who else thinks mom-and-pop guy was trying to drum up business for his store which sells their TVs for twice as much as we do?
