How's the price matching go at Microcenter?
Frankly, it was that experience that finally nailed the coffin shut for Fry's. Gigantic "WE PRICE MATCH AMAZON!" signs everywhere and it took them 20 minutes and 3 employees to do it. And it was crazy differences like $25 for a DVD at Fry's, $5 at Amazon. And the manager had a really bad attitude about it. There were like 5 customers in the store so it's not like he had anything else to do.
Fry's also does some super shady ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in that they won't show you the prices as everything rings up, and just give you a total. This is because nothing in their pricing system matches the listed prices on the shelf (and it's always more expensive in their system - always). If you complain about that, it's another 20 minute wait while that manager unglues his ass from his chair, then summons someone to go verify that the sign we can all see from the register does in fact say it's $10 less than it rang up. I walked away from a cart full of purchases at the register after that performance.
Anyway, it defies belief that an electronics store full of computers, monitors, and printers is unable to pull up competitor prices, print price match evidence, or display your purchases as they ring up.
I've noticed Microcenter does the exact opposite - they have a big screen showing each item and actually verbally call out the prices as they come up.
Thanks for listening, I feel better.
