I don't get that. I get a bizarre list of items, each of which displays
- an amount that is not the amount displayed on the store shelf
- a "sale" discount that brings it down to the store display price
- some of the tax for the sale
- some of the certificate discount for the sale, but not displaying any percentage or rule for calculating it
This kind of thing (but not the same thing) happens every time I go there. Last time the "sales" person could not explain why the Geek Squad would come to my house and "adjust" the TV after a couple months. It took a store manager to explain that every TV delivered from Japan comes adjusted for the store (that is, too bright and with too much contrast - so it will stand out against other maladjusted TVs). Apparently, despite the fact that maybe one TV in a thousand is used in the store as a display, IT NEVER OCCURRED to anyone that adjusting them all to store brightness and then wasting someones time traveling to houses all over central Texas is JUST PLAIN STUPID.
I am getting to be old enough that apoplexy could conceivably be life-threatening. I don't want to give up on interacting with the world, but I am pretty sick of talking to stupid snots with an attitude. I am self-aware enough to understand that I might be one, but I need some feedback to confirm or deny it.
Anyone?
