Re: Silly Best Buy price match "Policy"?
In answer to John's original question - yes, I've encountered this practice as well. In one case, I tried to buy 3 hard drives at Circuit City that were on sale at BB. The CC salesperson had to call all 3 of the BB stores in the area before she would give me the sale price - and then the BB stores only had 2 in stock, so she could only sell me 2 at the sale price (and I ended up picking up the third drive at BB the next day).
The entire price match policy is kind of a joke. I really could care less if they even have it, but if they're going to promote it they should make the restrictions reasonable and a little more friendly to the customer. Like John said, is it really worth all the hassle for a $6 movie?
And seriously, how many people get any kind of good customer service at Best Buy? I know CC is bad too, but every time I try to buy something at BB they try to sell me some sort of Monster cable (seriously - the last time I bought a DVD there, some guy actually tried to sell me a Monster component video cable to get the "best picture quality" to enjoy my movie. I think I actually laughed at him).
