The manager turned to me and said, "Well I guess you win, but it is ---smurfs--- like you that are destroying the Office supply retail Industry." I left a few choice words with him as I left with my card holders, but I could see the dude needed an enima. Asshat.

Total ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. Managers can see what the wholesale price is on what's in their store. Places like staples jack up their prices for the suckers too lazy to shop around. I also have sneaky suspicion some people shop there for the tax write off. A printer from staples probably ends up being cheaper over five years through depreciation than the same printer purchased elsewhere for half that.
He's likely pissed because you hurt his year end bonus. Places like that really screw over employees and customersand reward their management.

I always demand they do, it false advertizing if they don't.

In the USA, it depends on the State you live in before you can say false advertising (remember, its private property ((and no, you dont have to enter)) and if it wasnt publicly advertised, then it isnt advertised - I learned that in my legal economics/business/labor classes). Most stores try to make sure their items are priced right, sometimes there are errors. Usually to save a future customer, they go ahead and honor the label/sign.

Cheffo got my point, Mikezilla. To make it clear:
Ripping off Best Buy is not a victimless crime and could cost a guy his job. Didn't Circuit City or some other big chain go tits up not too long ago?
I just wrapped my point up in a broader context that Cheffo summarized fairly well: Too many people feel entitled to anything and everything they want without thought to consequence and then are first to ---smurfette--- and moan that their economies, jobs and home values are in the toilet. You have no problem ripping off big faceless corporation "Best Buy" but don't think that maybe there is a trickle-down consequence to that kind of behaviour; Those same people complain that big faceless corporations are shipping jobs outside the country.
Sorry if you don't like America-bashing but it's the truth (and Canadians are not that far behind).

I would be hard presses to believe that a company like Circuit City went belly up because they mismarked so many of their products. It would have more to do with their overall business practice. Seriously, any company that supported the atrocity known as DIVX is bound to fail.
