If you still have the receipt, contact Valve support and explain your situation. First try to talk with someone in charge from the shop you've bought the game and ask to be supplied with a CD-key. After all, it's your right as a customer. If everything fails contact Valve and provide them with the receipt data and the names of the persons from the retail shops that refused to help you.
On the bypassing subject, I'm sorry, but we can't help. See the forum rules to understand why.
