A lawsuit has been filed against Best Buy for price match fraud. You know how they tout on their commercials that if you find a better deal somewhere else, they will match the price? Well, I guess that doesn’t count their own web site.
The Consumerist reports the details of the lawsuit and how the shenanigans occur:
1. You walk into a Best Buy to purchase a sale item you saw on their site.
2. The employee tells you that the item is no longer on sale, and shows you what looks to be Best Buy’s website, but it’s really a secret intranet that Best Buy’s corporate office denies exists. The price on the website shows that the sale is over.
3. You cry and leave, then at home you see that the sale isn’t over at all. What happened?
I have acquired a growing distaste for Best Buy and will only go there when dire circumstances require it, such as needing a new wireless router at 8PM on a Friday night. (heh)
Now I’ll definitely think about staying away at all costs.
