A Bargain or a Steal

They call me the christmas Grinch. I hate christmas time with a passion. Its always about the meaning of what you don't get and what you didn't give. So this year I have been on a terror. It started with Conns. We went shopping for a Meat Freezer to store our meat and other frozen items in. I go into the store and behold I see this upright freezer. Its marked $297.00. It advertises that it "Supposed" to have a lock, a digital control on the outside to control the temperature. Well it didn't have it on the display. I asked for a manager and of course he was at lunch. I asked for the sales person who was helping me,(well not really, he was the guy who tried to help me but I told him to get lost until I needed help)yea that guy. So I asked him where the gadgets were on the item. He said its a misprint and that it shouldn't be that way. I had him look it up in his system and of course the system had a "Misprint" as well. So I asked for a manager because I wanted to buy that Freezer at that price with the supposed features on it. Knowing that it didn't exist and someone made a mistake, I demanded a manager call me. If he didn't have it in the store, then he needed to find me one.

I called about an hour later since I didn't get a call back, The manager knew what I was talking about and asked if he can call me back in 2 to 3 min. I agreed. 2 1/2 Hours later I called him back. I was headed down to get my HDDVR that I saved $300.00 on, so I stopped by to talk to this manager who was supposed to call me back. So I am sitting on the couch about 15 feet from him and they told him I was waiting for him> He picks up the phone and calls my cell phone not realizing I was talking to him and looking at him as he was me.

So we proceeded to greet eachother and I walked him over to the unit. He said" Oh its a misprint> I said "oh really" and he said let me see what I can do for you. He gets on the phone, calls corporate, only to say its corporates mistake, and say that he would offer me the bigger one at the same price as the smaller one but it didnt have the gadgets. I was of course not impressed and asked what about the bigger one with the gadgets. Of course that one was $600.00, and he looked at me and said let me see what I can do. So he said that I could get the bigger one with gadgets for $50.00 more then the smaller one with no gadgets. So I got us a Brand New Frigidaire Freezer "With the gadgets" for $347.00. The original cost was $600.00

So this year I played the Grinch and got away with a great Steal.. Oh my bad,, DEAL!!!!
