Best Buy is Naughty

Surprise, Surprise.
edit: so what happens is that Joe Consumer goes to BB after seeing a price on the BB website. And the guy in the store pricechecks against the BB website from a store computer and the price is higher.
The company intranet hosts the in-store website.
The prices are different depending on where the client is connecting. :-)

The hiring exam for Best Buy must be a meeting where they sit down and make sure that you have more than 3 priors on your record.
It's like they're hiring all the ex-cons that Fry's wouldn't take.
fark lol

a customer at home logs on to the best buy website
that website tells them a price
they go to the store
the prices are higher, so they go 'what the fuck, your website says cheaper'
the employee says, 'oh it does, does it. let's see'
and he goes to the (different) best buy site located on their intranet which has higher prices that the customer begrudgingly pays

Then you just walk across the street to somewhere with internet access. Order the product online for in store pickup. Come back and get it for cheaper from the same sales guy.
It's a shitty thing for them to do, but you can get around it.
fuck not looking like an asshole.
Hey Knob, did you make that boneriffic.penisland.com or whatever sub-site yet?
oh, you mean dongtropolis.bonertown.net?
i most certainly did!
Aren't all you people in the US supposed to be ordering from amazon?
Up here we dream about the pricing they offer you.
Bonerriffic.
Oh so it's totally okay then.
Right-o old chap.
sure, take it i can always walk
they don't know how shit works
they're just making up a load of bullshit
having been on both sides of the issue i really like this
I'm not saying it's okay. I'm just saying there is a way around it.
I tend to avoid Bestbuy/Futureshop when possible as it is due to the useless people they employ there.
The difference is all in what is being sold. It's ok for Target to do that because most items are, for the most part, inexpensive, so it would cost Target more in man-power and time to make the customer "jump through hoops" than to just let it go, whereas Target sells largely expensive items (some of them VERY expensive), and so it is worth it to make the customer pay a higher price through hoops.
It is still a pretty shitty thing to do, though.
You mean Best buy?
You're saying Target is doing two different things
yes.
half the idiots that walk into the stupid store go "the customer is always right hurr hurr you have to listen to everything i say"
90 percent of consumers are lack-witted assholes who want underpaid teenagers to lick their taints and call it ice cream
fuck you, customers
