Best Buy Sucks

A customer goes online to best buys website and see a good price, but wants the product now for that price. So the customer goes to the nearest best buy location and approaches a best buy employee...
Cu: Hi, I saw this product on your website for this price, I would like to price-match and get the product at the cheaper price.
BB: Ok, let me go online and verify the price.
Cu: Ok.
employee opens up website and navigates to the product page.
BB: It looks like you were mistaken about the online price. The website price is actually higher than the in-store price. You have a better deal right now.
Cu: Oh. I thought.... hmm. Ok, well I'm already here and I want the product, so I'll just buy it now.
Little did the customer know, but the employee did not go to the real best buy website, but instead went to one that is built into the store system designed to show a higher price than the real website just so the customer doesn't get the better deal. This is just another reason to hate best buy. Don't believe anything they tell you. If you are going to match something off of their website, print it off first. Once you go to the store, watch where they go to carefully.
Here's the article with the investigation that happened.
