So I am out looking to buy a new computer, since mine is about to die, or I may kill it first, not sure yet.
I found a couple pretty good systems through Dell (won't bore you with the details) in my price range...roughly $800-$1200. Since I am scatterbrained, I brought the flyer with me, so I could compare at BB and CC. I am not so much concerned with what brand I buy, I have owned a Dell, Compaq, HP, Gateway all before and with the exception of one brand, had good luck with all of them.
BB was no problem, I walked in, looked around, told the helpful associate what I was looking for, they showed me what they had, answered my questions.
I go into CC, wander around for a few minutes looking at the computers. An employee from that department comes up and tells me if I am looking to price match "that" I might as well just leave, because they don't price match "that". I gave him the WTF look, and he proceeded to rant about how Dell sucked and how cheap I must be to expect him to pricematch a "top of the line" desktop to a Dell.
At that point I explained to him what I was doing, and that personally, I would never pricematch anything (if its cheaper elsewhere, go there). He continued to be a dick, so I left. Not that they had anything anyway. Good thing he is at CC now instead of back in the day when he would have had to earn commision. In his defense, he has probably dealt with morons trying to pricematch Dell stuff, but to leap to conclusions and tear my head off was uncalled for.
