Abused? I don't think they care. My son ran over my Craftsman  rubber garden 
hose with the mower. It had to have been 20 years old and  definitely not well 
treated. Because I am a TR guy, of course I tried to  repair it rather than 
buy a replacement. Like a TR, the hose kept leaking  despite my best efforts, 
so I went to Sears to buy a new one. I didn't bother  to bring the old one back 
as it had been "mowed" (my fault, ya know?). Just  making conversation, I 
mentioned to the cashier why I was buying a new one.  She told me to bring the 
old one in and they would give me a replacement! So I  did.

Hacking a hose to shreds is ok, but letting a socket rust is not?  




I agree-I'm only reporting what is being said on sites you'll find when you  
Google the issue.It seems like there is a shifting of policy.
I stood in line one Friday night many years ago behind an AA pilot who had  a 
garden hose in his hands.
He was pretty ticked off by the time the clerk got to him. He made a  really 
big and loud deal about the lousy quality and that the house leaked. 
The clerk pointed out to him that the hose said "Montgomery-Ward" all down  
the side.
But for the grace of God.....
