Warning: that big box store carpet padding is a nightmare on stairs

I was at a Home Depot in Cleveland last Tuesday picking up some tools and saw a guy loading up a whole pallet of their cheap rebond padding for a stair job. I told him he'd be fighting wrinkles and movement for months on those landings, but he just shrugged and said the customer wanted the cheapest option. Has anyone else had to redo a job because that thin padding just won't stay put on steep steps?

Rebond is fine on stairs if you install it right, people just love to exaggerate.

And fire code hates that stuff on stairs too, melts and burns fast.
