So I decided to stop by Lonestar Baby and Kids today to try out the Radian XTSL to make sure it would fit in my car and install right so I could then convince my DH I just HAD to have one I "knew" I could get a better deal online. So I get there and try it in the car and while installing it I notice there is a tag on it for $134.99!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. The tag was attached to the seat and it said something like Super lonestar baby sale or something so I thought no way but I guess maybe?? I got really lucky. The more I thought about it I figured it had to be a mistake but I was going to try and get it at that price. So we get the red one take it up there and it rings up with tax over $300 and I asked how that could be with the price tag saying that? So the girl goes back and pulls the tag off the thing and talks to the manager. One of the girls working there pipes up and says "It was attached we have to honor it, it's the law" I said "I thought so, I thought that would be false advertising or something?" (I don't know the actual definition of it so I don't know if it truly is but I thought it was) Well after talking to a few managers they honored it, yay for me!!! It was like $146 with tax or something like that. BUT after I pay the manager right there in front of me that I could tell was really mad she had to honor it says to the girl checking me out "I want to know who tagged that it's going to be someone's job" RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Loud as can be, no way she thought I didn't hear. So now I feel like total crap, completely ruined the excitement of getting such a great deal I feel horrible that someone might loose their job because I made them honor a deal that was a mistake
It turned out that was the Monterrey price that was put on there. But I thought that was just awful of the manager. Yes I got a great deal so I feel like I shouldn't complain but I was made to feel really bad about it. They could have said no we won't honor it which would have been better for them business wise or they could have good customer service and honor it, take the hit and correct it for the next person. But you would think they would do it to make me want to come back you know? Now they have made me never want to go in that store again :thumbsdown:
