Would this guerilla tactic be immoral?

Goodpoint. I just got the idea becuase I am pissed off about there lack of selection. This would be a good way to get more titles on the shelves. Honestly I don't think Hasting's people are smart enough to figure out a trend like theat though. Alot of stupid people and policies running that place. They don't have anyway to track whether a special order has been picked up or not.

I think the more ordering they see in the format will lead them in the right direction just like any retail operation. If they see their competion getting the orders for stuff they don't stock, they'll get wise. Nobody's in business to lose money to competition. Stay on 'em. The more people they get asking for stock, the more chance they'll dive in.

I used to work at Hastings a long time ago. The management team there was very reasonable. No need to have any sort of complicated scheme. Just talk to the store manager (politely) and request that they carry more Blu-Ray titles. If you don't want to talk to them, just buy more Blu-Ray titles. Nothing sends a stronger messge than $$$.

Oh, I buy blu-rays there, lots! Only to support Blu, not hasting's, (they are my closest blu source) The store manager at your store must be alot different than the one I worked at....Personally I think Hastings is a greedy company who treats it's employees unfair. Think about this, I was a customer service manager, only making $6.25 an hour, nobody there was allowed full time hours, I was lucky when I got over 25 hrs a week, becuase corporate wold not approve a raise. I am so glad I got out of there. (well that I got fired)
