So I show up at my local target (Mobile, AL.) today after work, and head over to the games section. After a few frantic moments of searching, I find the gem I was looking for: God of War. It was marked $49.99, and my heart sank momentarily. Pulling myself together, I ask a clerk to get out a copy for me, so I can see how much it costs. She looks at the tag, then at me, and remarks condescendingly "It's $49.99". I give her my best "go-to-hell" look, and ask her to scan it. We head over to the register, my stomach tying knots that a Boy Scout would envy.
The gun passes over the UPC code, and I watch her face intently as it screws up in confusion. "Huh. It's $28.88." I smile with my own brand of condescension, and reply "I know." After paying a great price for this incredible game, I stroll triumphantly out the door, clutching my pride and joy close to my heart, feeling like a king.
Okay, so it wasn't that dramatic.....but it was a good read, right?
Moral of the story: Price cut confirmed in South Alabama. Woot!
