I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I was straight lied to by an apple employee

If you live in an area with good consumer rights, this is usually a valid reason to return a product. Statements made by an employee are treated the same as statements made in an ad, and it's not legal for either to misrepresent a product.

The USA does not have good consumer rights.
