Another great option is to buy and return products from a brand and say they’re broken. Most get sent back to the manufacturer at their expense or destroyed (especially if they’re a physically large product), and it damages their relationship with the retailer.
If you want to be really evil, return for an exchange, then return THAT one for a refund, so you’ve removed 2 items from the shelves and hurt the manufacturer.
That’s why lots of products have a warning not to take back to the store for an exchange/refund when you open the box, but to reach out to the manufacturer.
