We don't do much of our shopping in brick & mortar stores any more. However, the Boxster's battery died yesterday and we need another one ASAP. So we brought the dead DieHard back to Sears and picked up a new one.
The amazing part was they were able to locate our old receipt in the system. As it was still within the 100 month warranty period, we got $31 bucks rebate for it! The whole thing cost us just over $115 out the door. Hopefully, it will be good for another 7 year :-)

Not sure the warrant y really did you any good, considering you can buy the same battery at Walmart, for $67 plus the disposal fee (which you get back when you bring in the old battery) and sales tax, which is less than $115.
