Mr. PortnoyLarge companies use 'company policy' as a way to project fake government-level authority and deny consumer rights.

When I see them up there, those products are fraud... I mean, they wouldn't be advertising there if they weren't a fraud.

It never occurred to me that it's not, but now I'm going to start to investigate it.
