Luck was not with me today

Cut me some slack here. I'm just trying to let off some steam. Nothing went right for me today.

Hopefully no more lame posts from me in the future.

glad we are in agreement that you post was lame.

Just got back from the hospital. I found out Staples wouldn't pricematch a Newegg price. I immediately went home and slashed my wrists Note to self, go up and down the highway, don't cross it.

maybe we should put it in aussie-speak?

price no match what item sell.... item freeeeeeeeeeeee


it's called a price accuracy guarantee.
many stores here in the states have it.

it makes the store insure their POS system is accurate.

what... aussie doesnt have it?

where's your aussie superiority now?

What stores in the US have this?

I bought something from Amazon last week for $20.49 and now it's $16.99. They don't pricematch to prior orders. Oh well, get on with life.

Sometimes they do, even though they don't officially support it.

They usually will pricematch if the price has dropped before it even ships. Sometimes it doesn't even matter. I bought my Macbook Pro last June on amazon for ~$1170, and then a day after I received it, it was down to ~$1140. So, I emailed them, and they gave me an adjustment, no questions asked.

Now, if you do that too often, amazon will flat out deny you, thus a $3.50 credit really isn't worth it, but it is something to keep in mind.

Speaking of Amazon, I had pre-ordered a book that was $20 so I added a $5 filler item to get the free shipping. Unbeknownst to me, the price of the book had dropped to $18 before release so per Amazons policy, my pre-order price had been automatically updated to the lowest possible price before it would be shipped. Unfortunately, it brought my toal under $25 and I got charged $7 shipping which resulted in my overall total to be more than the original price I would have paid if I had not received the price-adjustment on the pre-order. Long story short, I shot them an email and they corrected it immediately. Amazon rocks!

I couldn't tell you any other than the one I work at. I work at a HyVee.

A little over a week ago I had a bad day:

A doe bounced off my right front and tried coming through my windshield.

Maybe if you expand on the others things that went wrong, people would sympathize more. Though they better be better examples than the OP.
