Even if he didn’t “demand” a replacement piece I think the proper request before asking for something from a company is to offer to pay for it. Of course the boy is only 7 and obviously it was the dad who encouraged him to ask for a replacement without offering to pay for it. We have a full blooming tree of entitlement planted squarely in the middle of our country because we ignored it when it was a small seedling and we “felt” good about giving people free stuff.
