Didn't Best Buy or Circuit City get hammered several years back for doing this same shite? The price you got on your website at home was different than the price you got when you looked it up on their computers on their own networks. You'd show up to the store for one price and there was nothing in the store that would give you as good a price.

What I don’t get is that you could still purchase it online and pickup in store. I don’t know how that figures for overhead when you have to have an army of employees start pulling inventory off the shelf for online pickup. And then you start printing extra stickers to identify what is for which purchase.
That to me would be more costly than having the same price for both and I go check it out. Which at some stores you are now doing that yourself.
What I don’t understand on the retail level if they want to start beating Amazon why not use your stores as miniwharehouses and ship to your lazy customers who don’t want to pick up their stuff from the store. In most places depending on geographic restrictions, this could be one day delivery or if UPS or Fedex want they could even do same day delivery.
You could even possibly even get into the delivery business too.
