If you're referring to the MicroCenter I just googled (21 stores...), I'd be
tempted to go back to them with the product and a screen print showing the
message and ask them how they intend to correct the situation.

Definitely go back to Microcecter as Pvdg42 suggested. You may also want to
contact MS
