Price matching toys

[Krayt]

No point jaydisc, I TOLD the jerk that my friend bought it from TRU and that I can bring the receipt. He said, "Well your friend's lucky he got a good deal then, but there's no way we'll price match when Big W doesn't have the stock". What an ass!

how is it you can complain about them not matching, when it's a TRU exclusive and therefore NO WAY IN HELL Bigw will have it, so you CAN'T pricematch

price matching is for exact same item, actually in stock.

That's like me complaining Big W won't give me my staff discount from Colesgroup

I DIDN"T know they were TRU exclusives. PLUS I only went and ask for a price match because folks here told me they got theirs price match. So I thought it's only something fair that it's done for all customers who ask and not just those who happen to ask the RIGHT people at the RIGHT time.

"Now, one got refused today.... on the TRU exclusives... and he is full on abusing the manager who IS COMPLETELY RIGHT"

Jaydisc is right that the manager answered me very rudely, that's why i was offended. I asked very nicely if I could POSSIBLY get a price match at the voyagers. The cashier then asked her manager who practically raised his voice at me when I tried to explain my friend came earlier to buy it. (Until the other staff also turned to look). As for the racist part, I might have been alittle too sensitive, but it was definitely the manager's tone and rudeness that pissed me off.

As for the abuse on the other forum, I believe everyone has the right to have their owns views, but NOT the right to abuse people with hurtful words.

Also, come on, the big retail stores make millions a year, it's no big loss to them giving us some discount and letting us less well-to-do souls get a bargain or something during a toy sale.

And P.S: I'm a lady (Mr/Ms falefel), so PLEASE don't refer me as a he. My username is JuzMel, duhhhh....

And yes, US Melbournians are definitely a close-knit bunch, hooray to that!

Now 2 posts to reply too... so figure out your own quotes....

"You also identified yourself as a mutual board member. 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"

Um... i kinda did..... post #7.... Half an hour before MY "vent"



"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??

I thought it was you Post #7 was sort of obvious, but I didn't want to make any inferences

Quote me! Why I oughtta...

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

Of course, I disagree with the whole must-be-the-same-exact-item-and-in-stock assertion, so we'll probably just have to disagree there.

And also, again with an American reference, but I come from the land of corporate greed, where these [specific] companies have always taken advantage of people, so I lack any empathy.

bah, they are jealous! I didn't get any cheap voyagers (but I'll try for Inferno ) and I have no issues, grats to all that made off well!

plus their boards are confusing, so many damn sub forums! I'm glad I stopped posting there.

[Krayt]

Hmmm... smily faces in the post.... does that mean i can stop looking over my shoulder as i walk down the street?

"locally take exception".... um.... in english?

like i said... "same item blah blah blah".... the other day i had a guy trying to compare quality and pricing of our stock with Ikea, where he was off to next seeming he was just arrived from sydney. In this instance, no cataloge, now "these are the same thing"... just asking "is this like the one at ikea?"

the answer is N.O... NO... Nein...

(footnote... it was just a cover anyway... he was the distraction for his theif partner... made off with $400 worth of stock at least)




But it was a vent.... and I'm known there.... i post there.... i used to post here more than there, but the board moved and i lost you and i work too much to support 2 kids... i mean wives... i mean boards....

if i posted here, then it's just some newbie guys 5th post he doesn't know what he's talking about.... reminds me in a comic shop a while ago.... someone harping on about something TF related, i was looking at something and the staff asked me to clarify.... the guy had no idea i owned the very figures he was saying didn't exist and had never been prototyped or whatever it was...

If i was shitstiring.... I would have gone "Look at what Krayt at Ozformers said... what a loser... man i hate him he is an idiot"... instead i left everything blank, didn't say where it was, and just said how i was feeling at 11:20pm after lack of sleep for 4 days due to a medical problem....

Not meaning to pick you but leaving blank and calling us mongrels isn't nice in the first and then double quoting me in that forum for my edits for calling you mongrels in return.

well, since its all solved. i hope everything's cleared up.
if you're unhappy with anything that we had done..just PM us....

About that. I remember you from waaay back in the day. From memory, you were invited to (but had to skip) what was pretty much the first ever Melbourne meet (organised by myself & Gok), which was back in 2003.
