You really need to chill out. I didn't see ANYONE do any flaming except for yourself. Everyone's posts were very well spoken and just trying to inform you of what you're up against. Chances are you will NOT change corporate policy, if you consistantly go against your manager you'll just end up losing your job. If you continue to go in there and raise a scene after they fire you, there's a pretty good chance you'll get banned from the store. As everyone has tried to point out, you'll do more good working within the system than against it.
