Price matching toys

[jaydisc]

I can only hope and request that in the future, that you put forth your objection or displeasure to a local issue here locally, so that we can comment, explain, retort, justify, discuss, etc.

And in hindsight, to be fair, you did locally take exception with the price matching, so cheers for that!

While we were still just Falafel, I complained that you should have locally raised the issue (aka taken exception). In hindsight, you did.

And I totally understand why you posted there and not here.

Also, I can only assume that your job affects your perception of this situation. What is your job? That would have been a welcomed disclaimer.

Personally, as I've mentioned before, and will reinforce again, I have no empathy for Coles Myer or any of their corporate brethren. If they, or any of their kind, want bragging rights for the Lowest Price, Guaranteed, they can put their money where their mouth is... literally.

If another store is currently advertising the item at a lower price, match it. You can even keep your silly little extra 10% [of the difference]. The whole must-be-in-stock game is silly. Here's a few reasons why:

1. Which store do you call? Does it have to be in stock at the one you randomly choose?

2. How many stores do you call? Does it have to be in stock at the first one you call?

3. How qualified are you in asking the store if they have a specific item?

4. How qualified is the person that answers in identifying whether they do? Do you actually use computers? What if someone moved the stock?

5. Can we trust their answer?

6. Do they know you're a competitor?

7. Do they really want you to price match?

I could probably come up with plenty more holes in the concept.

"I DIDN"T know they were TRU exclusives."

as the saying goes, "Ignorance is no excuse"... didn't help me when i went too fast in a school zone because the cars clock was still on daylight savings time and i thought i was in the clear.... but if you didn't know, then you didn't know... that can be forgiven

I took offense to your calling him an ass, adding the store to a hate list, a jerk again later, plus a second ass.... (is he a donkey farm? or many-legged???) I didn't say anything about possible racist comments or opinions... just the linking of terms to a person. I may not be a a manager... but i'm the one who answers 80% of our price match/"i'm buy lots please give a discount"/"trying to return after the 7 days return period is up" queries.... i deal with this all the time, 6 days a week...

As for linking things to people.... it's a bit hard to think of all of us as Transgender/hermaphrodite/crossdressing/what are we's if a persons sex is not known.... you make Aussie TF Board poster #2 that i know of as female, if i cut out i think 2 wives who posted once and then never again. So please accept my apology for the mistaken gender attributes...

Do i dare mention that both of you put my other name wrong??

It's good that you are admit that Felafel = Krayt = You. It's probably understandable why you're unhappy with us cause you're one of those working on the retail side. But still, like what kyle said, shit stirring is still shit stirring, if you were unhappy with anything we have done, you could have just voiced you thoughts gently here.

And you're probably new to the board that's why you're not used to my complaining and bitching about stuff. It's just me and I don't mean any harm. The other guys sort of gotten used to it and they also usually give in cause I'ma lady and most probably the only most active female TF fan in OZ.
