All true casey. IMO, all the extra warranty really does is get the store to give you the proper service you deserve in the first place instead of a hassle or denial.
Yes ext. warr. is a racket to pad profit margins but I've seen it make a diffference too under certain circumstances.
Back in the early 80's when it started we would write CRESP (cust. refused ext. service policy) across every invoice in big letters to scare the buyer after wards. Then the stories of selling EW on power cords, blank tapes, etc. Funny but very poor biz practices back in the day as it is now too sometimes.
