Murfing On The Rise: Evil Corporations Refusing To Price Match As Advertised

This has to stop, this is not right. I hate Office Depot and I hate Best Buy too.

According to HD Guru, big name retailers are lying to their customers. By the thousands. They are telling customers lies so they don't have to honor a competitor's sale price. It's called "murfing." Check this out:

"Facing lower sales volume and declining revenue, some big box electronics retailers are apparently fighting back by not honoring their own pricing policies. Denying a customer a price match price is nothing new. It’s been going on for decades. It even has a name: 'murfing'— a code word often used by managers to instruct sales people to disregard the price match policy so the customer either leaves the store or pays the tagged price..."

They go on to recommend some things you can do to fight back:

* Don’t have a competitor’s ad in your hand when entering the store

* Don’t say you have been shopping around and know exactly what you want to purchase

* Do ask the salesman if they offer extended warranties (even if you don’t want one) and inquire as to how many years coverage you can buy, because you want the longest protection you can buy

Read the whole thing right here.

If you're a retailer and you are doing this to your customers,
SHAME ON YOU AND I HOPE YOU GO F-ING BANKRUPT BECAUSE OF IT.

Have a nice day!
