I used to go to Bestbuy to try and get one of their
advertised specials for laptops...after going in and telling their
staff I wanted to buy a specific one, they had to go and
and they said they couldn’t find that one, but they had one
with a 100 dollar “package” i.e. antivirus/Microsoft stuff
added to it...I said that was “bait and switch” and I would never
buy anything from them. Then I started noticing how
ignorant most of the sales staff was about their products...
I hope they go out of business...actually it was probably
in their business plan anyway....build up clientele with
low prices, and then blast everyone who comes in with
so-so prices, bait and switch , then go bankrupt....

I had the exact same experience with the BB in Coral Springs, FL.

I had problems several times with them over just what you describe plus some other things.I took my complaint all the way to some VP at the home office, and after a long conversation with him, he basically said the I was right but that is just the way it is, take it or leave it.I went eslewhere for the computer and bought a large refridgerator from someone else, too.

I hope they belly up the whole chain, good riddance.
