FYI, Amazon.com has lowered their price on The Jungle Book to $14.99.

I don't really have anything to bring back. My receipt shows a "pre-order"...but $0.00. What's the point? They're not likely to take $5 off Ratatouille with that.

Just go wherever the best deal is. It's not like there's any advantage to pre-order...unless you get some kind of deal/incentive to do so.

My flirty clerk gave me the pre-order slip but told me it wouldn't work to knock off the $5 when I came back to buy Ratta..whatever. Why'd she give it to me then?

I think I'll try it anyway. Is that dishonest?

Yeah I got two things -- I got the slip I brought up to the register that she used to scan the barcode and the receipt which shows my purchases ($0.00 for the pre-order). I guess I'll just take the slip in (and not the receipt) when Rattitouille comes out and cross my fingers. If it works I got a pretty great deal -- a total of $10.00 off for both the purchases.

I'm gonna gues that won't work. That slip (assuming you're talking about the little card on the DVD racks which has the barcodes) is only to be used by clerks to ring-up the pre-order. I doubt that'll get you too far.

It's funny, my clerk put mine in my bag, too! Just took a look:
