[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']:lol:Yeah. It did seem like as soon as his name was mentioned in any way other than blindly praising him it was deleted post haste. It was pretty funny to see the Kmart Defense Force come out in full anytime someone dared to disparage these 'great deals' he was doing for them.
The only halfway decent deals I got in on while he was doing them was that L.A. Noire deal(free $20 game and a $20 off coupon) and the Fallout New Vegas coaster coupons.
I was pretty successful in getting help resolving customer service issues without him in times past. For example, I did the survey on a receipt from a further off Sears store(Stroudsburg, PA) and let their manager know about the employees standing there watching ESPN rather than help customers. I received a call from the manager himself and the next time I was in that store all of those employees were working and not watching tv.
But yeah, he did get a gift card out to me to make up for the one ahole employee here being rude to me and the missing $5 game I bought up in NY state. Thing is, I think I went back to that mall store up there within a month, but I forgot to bring the empty case with me to get a refund there. I think I still have that case somewhere around here in the collection of empty cases I bought from HWV when they were going outta biz.
I had this same kinda issue with Circuit City up in NY state back in the day. Their employees never marked anything down, so I was routinely getting games marked $40-50 for $2-4. That is, untill the one bitch manager pulled a hissy fit and wanted to know how I knew the prices would be so cheap and then refused to sell me anything unless I paid the sticker price.:lol:
I wanted ME2 for the longest time too. But I'm glad I waited like I did, since I got it a couple months ago for $5 after the @Gamer coupon.

I'm pretty sure NY state has a pricing law that says if an item rings up in the register at a lower price than the sticker price than they have to give you the price that rings up in the register. If stores were allowed to tell you, you had to pay sticker price then what they could do is effectively just say the price is wrong on non-stickered items and raise prices arbitrarily for customers. Obviously, this would be a huge problem. So what that Circuit city was doing was most likely illegal in this state, I would have contacted the attorney general about it, but they are out of business for a reason.
Sears also has a price match policy that states if the item is priced lower on the tag than it is in the register they will give you $5 off the item or the item is free if its under $5. But I am not sure if this is in effect anymore. Though I don't think I have ever seen this happen.
