Well I tried to get another monitor today and was denied. I knew this was going to happen cause there was a different manager there this time and he gave me a hell of a hard time. He said no its to much of a price decrease. I asked him if he could find it in the staples pm policy where it states any set amount. He said there isn't one. So I basically said give me the damn price then. After arguing for a while he decided to call to check the in stock status and verify if the price was that low. He didn't believe the form I had. Well the place we called was out of stock (i knew it would be) and when I gave him another number he got rather annoyed and said he's not going to call all over the state. That place was 78miles away, he said something like "your going to drive that far for this monitor"? The nerve of this guy geez. After he walked away the lady at the counter said he's the most tight-wad of all the managers there. He remembered seeing me there yesterday and we were discussing that a little. I wonder if he could lookup that info and possibly charge the difference to my credit card if he has reason to believe they weren't in stock at the time. I got there at 8:30am and when he tried to verify stock status, the compusa's were closed. So I ended up waiting in the parking lot till 9 and came back in. Ah well, guess I should have stuck w/ going in later in the day.
-New info-
Found a place which had 1 left in stock. I quickly called staples back, asked for that same manager. Told him this. He took my name/number and said he'll call me back. Waited over an hr, no call. Ended up driving back down there and he said give him another hr. I was starting to get pissed off again. I waited and went back, he wasn't there. Was at lunch. I asked to speak to another manager which musta just came in, he seemed nicer. He called to verify in stock status and let me grab only 1. Used another $30 off $150 coupon and quickly walked out. Heh! Got another for under $20 after rebate. However I think that was my last from there. I called a few compusa's and they said they should be getting some more in. Or I may just visit another staples since they provide a better price. Oh ya, I also went to sears and tried to pm. Man, they were a bunch of a$$holes. Did not want to even call to check stock. As soon as they saw the instant savings part they said sorry can't match with that. They said they can match regular prices but not prices brought down because of any rebates, instant offers, etc.. The lady manager there was getting on my nerves, she said if compusa has a better price then go there, if staples, cc, or others pm it with no problem then go there. I told her thanks for nothing and walked out. Anyways thats my story so far.
