When I went to check out, I asked again, and he said that he had verified it with his manager, and there would be no problem price matching the online price (for a savings about $45!!). As usual, I guess it's just inconsistent from store to store!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990217234886768785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21394119455789243512009-01-15T17:23:00.000-05:002009-01-15T17:23:00.000-05:00there are always some "stingy" store associates ;-...there are always some "stingy" store associates ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
