I need a set of studio monitors . I've narrowed it down to 2 or 3 different pairs , the Yamaha HS80m's being one (@ $349.99 each).
I stumbled across this last night Yamaha HS80M Powered Speaker: Music Instruments & Karaoke : Walmart.com
$219.99 each ? , that made up my mind . But it sounds too good to be true , I just knew if I ordered those from wal mart I would get an email in a few hours saying there is a problem with my order (not available , out of stock ...)
Then I remembered Guitar Center price matching. Went Today ,carried 2 HS80m's to the counter and pointed the salesman to the wal mart site. He printed it up , went to the manager , came back and said "we can't do it" .
Why ? because I would have to wait for wal mart to ship it to me and so they count that as not in stock .
I went to the manager , He said no way .
I got angry , raised my voice , and started being an asshole. Just then another manager (with a thick Irish accent) jumped out of the office and said "It's not our policy , but we will do it for you today sir". told the salesman to ring it up , then made the other manager come and approve it .
So I saved almost $300 bucks , thank you wal mart ,screw you guitar center.
