In Jmacs example it seems like the company is taking advantage of the employees. Training is something that should be done on company time and the employee should be getting paid for it. By having an employee purchase a product (with the intent of returning it) so they can use it at home the company is essentially having the employee "train themselves" on their personal time. Not only that, but the risk is also placed on the employee as anything that happens to whatever they bought would be their responsibility.

To me that's a shitty way to run a company by putting an employee in that position.
I think this is where our miscommunication is...You probably MEANT to quote him but you ACTUALLY quoted me...And my point was that we are not expected to purchase these products as employees for training. We purchase these products because we want them and we get good pricing on them.
