Hi Dan
Actually I'm drinking Tennants Lager, and thinking about my upcoming trip to Scotland to play golf for 12 days in August. Funny you should mention consumer electronics, I'm part owner of a large Electronic repair buisness who does work for all major retailers and service contract providers. Most manufacturers warranty their products for one year, and allow retailers to sell extended warranties to cover the next 3-5 year. Margins are so tight on electronics, you have to sell warranties to make any money.
Sorry I got off cards, but your example happen to fall within my expertise.
By the way, the great thing about America is choice, you and Scott choose not to buy from these folks, while I except there conditions and purchase.
As far as I can see everybody is happy.

PS I'm not old enough to drink coffee.
