Why is *nothing* ever straightforward?

I toddled up to Peterboghorror to go to Machine Mart today to buy a
press. I have a job waiting for it, so I didn't want to wait for the
delivery.

I got it home to find that all of the fittings, the mandrels and the
pressure gauge are missing. So it's not usable. Maybe it's just me,
but it seems like a simple weighing of the box as a last QA check
would have said "Woah! This one's way too light, I wonder if there's
a problem?".
A phone call to the shop results in the person I was talking to
pausing briefly in his wiping of his nose on his sleeve to tell me
"You'll 'ave ter bring it back". No. It's a 110 mile round trip, and
I know (because they told me when I bought it) that it's the last one
in stock, so they can't replace it. That's not happening. "You'll
'ave ter bring it back".

Last one in stock? The one that's been robbed of bits for every other one that's been sold with bits missing?

Funny how that happens.
