I'm just wondering where there would be a store that you can bring an
empty seed package back, and get it replaced or get your money back.
I've got a drawer full of empty packets, as I'm sure many people do, and
I'd stand in line if I thought they were worth new packets. And I've had
such bad luck growing things from seed, I could say they didn't live up
to their potential, and not be lying.


It's like rebates, they know that such a small percentage of the customers
will return with a complaint, it's not even worth the bother. A $2 packet
costs the store $1.

For that $2 seed packet, they probably also sold $5 in soil, another $5 in
fertilizer, plus $10 for those mini-greenhouse starter and those tiny
compressed peat tablets.

I'm surprised they don't just give away the seed. It would be like Gillette
giving away the razor blade set , knowing you'll buy plenty of razors from
them in the long run.
