I really don't blame stores for being unwilling to do refunds or exchanges without a receipt. They have been burned by unscrupulous people way too many times.
And every time someone cheats a store - by theft, unwarranted returns, etc. - that just makes their cost of business go up - which in turn makes the cost of buying things from them go up, also.
