Off topic but Best Buy's cousin Future Shop isnt much better.

Heres my 2 cents:

Went to Best Buy the other day to pick up Jurassic Park Trilogy on Blu-Ray since it is on promotion for 34.99$. When we got the store (my gf and I) I went off looking at the other blurays that they had on promotion. When she found it I went and checked the price on the scanner. It rang up at 39.99$. I got excited. Went and checked where my gf found it and there was a price tag at 34.99$. I went to find a manager. Found one. Asked what there policy was on wrong priced items. He told me that they would have to sell it to me at 24.99$ (34.99$ - 10.00$ because of the wrong price). So I showed the manager the price, he told me no problem. Never really checked what I had in my hands, just saw that it was jurassic park. Went to the cash, paid the 24.99$ plus tax... Got home, opened it up... Shit. I had bought the DVD version, not the bluray... damn it.. Well since I wasnt going to try to return the DVD since it was open, Im cutting my loss.

I got a 50$ gift card for Future Shop from my work for christmas. Well since Future Shop does not have the Bluray on special I wanted them to do a price match... Found a worker, asked him for a price match. He went on Best Buy.ca and checked the price. Then went and called them. in the mean time he was tapping and playing with the box for the movie... a few minutes later he came over to me and said "I would like to price match but with it being boxing day week I normaly am not allowed but I needed to speak with best buy first to make sure that they do not have it in stock. Because if they have it in stock I would send you to them. If they didn't then I would reduce the price and sell it to you. But since I cannot reash them I cannot do the price match"

WTF.
