A few months ago I looked up the price on a digital camera online. Walked in the store and got on one of their terminals to double check the price and it wasn't there. I asked an employee about the camera and the deal I saw. She said that the computers in the store don't show all of the internet deals. In order for her to check the price, she had to authenticate as an employee and then access the real site.

I was still able to get the deal, but only after she ringed it up as "Matching a Competitor's Price." I'm curious if they don't even have some of deals on the in-store computers, which is why they are not on the intranet site. But if this is so, they should advertise the price online as offered exclusively on the web.

It seems to me, they're trying very hard to keep the best deals away from those who don't put the research in or ask enough questions.

is this needed, maybe we should stop worrying about tennis elbow and try to find the cure of a greater disease
