Reader Joe says:

Monday I bought 1.75 grams of thermal adhesive at Microcenter for $2.99. At checkout I was asked if I wanted to buy a replacement service plan. I was dumbfounded.

The clerk says, “the computer says I should ask you in you want to buy a replacement service plan.”

And I thought Best Buy was bad.

Hey, you want to protect your $2.99 investment, don’t you, Joe?
