You work at Lowe's or Home Depot?

A couple of days before christmas this last year I bought a TV from BB. The day after christmas it goes on sale $100 cheaper. I called and got $100 refunded to my card. About a week after that another $100 was refunded to my card. I checked the price thinking it must have gone down again, nope...

That website appears to be some bad ebay knock-off. And those prices are way too low, I'd steer clear.

Here's what I got today: Xbox 360 fat w/wireless controller $95 (don't know why it was 95, clerk didn't either.) Wireless G $24 20gb HD $4.50 Wired headset $5

Frys has a 15.6" Lenovo for $268 right now

You don't read the Consumerist do you?

Lowe's Memorial Day ad is up on the website. One of the specials not in the ad is a $1529.99 Whirlpool french door. It's Item #: 349451 | Model #: GI6SARXXF As for the looking for the best price, Lowe's will meet or beat any other B&M price.

Check out sonicelectronix.com I've bought speakers, dash kit and sub box from them. They usually have good prices and ship fast.

I have to agree with ZombieToast, it's called a gratuity for a reason. You tip based on the service you receive, crappy service=no tip or a small tip. Great service= great tip. There seems to be this belief that you must tip servers no matter what and at least 18%.
