Re: BORDERS:$19.99 DVD Box Sets For Valentine's Day

| I see that the sale ends today, Feb 14. There is over a foot of snow between my car and the end of my driveway. Not sure if I will get to Borders today, or not. |
FYI for future sales: I was unable to get to Borders by the 14th as well (for reasons other than snow, obviously

), so I clicked on the link in the e-mail Valentine's evening, meaning to buy on-line and pick a couple of sets up. Turns out the Border's site linked to doesn't
take orders on-line, but you can reserve copies at your local store. I did this, brought in all the associated e-mails when I went to pick up the discs on the 16th and they honored the sale price. (Got the first seasons of
House and
How I Met Your Mother.)
Granted I ended up having to ge a managers approval and it took half an hour to get out of there, but that was because Dumb and Dumber at the register had a hard time grasping the concept. Even after the manager explained to them that the sale prices were valid, Dumb rang up
House at full price - $66+ - because the boss had been holding my e-mail confirmation for
HIMYM in his hand when he said "Still on sale." Then Dumber argued that
House wasn't
part of the sale. So I pointed out the little picture of it on the sale e-mail. "Oh, he didn't show us that", said Dumber. No, the manager
hadn't shown them that,
I had, not two minutes earlier, the last time one of them had suggested that one of the sets wasn't part of the sale. I had pointed to the pictures because they both seemed to have a problem with words, but was defeated by their gnat-like attention spans.
If the prices weren't so good in this instance I would never shop at Borders again.
