I can't believe this thread has gone over a year without an update.

Today's pet peeve - stores that charge different prices online vs in the store.
I need a shirt and tie for a funeral tomorrow. Searched the JC Penney website at the restaurant while we were waiting for our food, found a shirt on sale - $19.99. Drove to the store, picked it up, went to check out. $19.99? Nope. $50.00. I can get 20% off if I use my non-existent JC Penney card. I asked the checkout girl if I could order another one online and return it on this receipt, she couldn't come up with a reason why that wouldn't work, so that's what I'm going to do.

Check the SKU numbers first.

I wonder if this thread has a little of the corruption some of the other threads had, where you couldn't see the last few posts. When I searched for it the last post I could see was from 4-10-18, now I see the shopper video.

As far as the SKU numbers matching, I bought it for pick up at the store, and when I searched for it I made sure to only search items in stock at the local store. So unless I screwed up something, and I've been known to do that when shopping online, it should be the same shirt.

I thought I read somewhere that some store's apps used your phone's location, and when you were in or near the store it adjusted the displayed price to match the price in the store. I couldn't tell you if Penney's does that because I couldn't get a strong enough signal to load their page when I was at the checkout. Still, changing a price from $19.99 to $50 is total B.S.

You can usually order on line and pick up in the store as well.
At least here in Europe... so with a smart phone... you can check and order while in the shop :D

just don't use the app, website and say no to geo location thingie

Rockfan: all in good fun (green means sarcasm or joking around).
I agree, they are taking advantage of the those who need something asap. I can see charging a little more for the cost of keeping a physical store but that price difference is way out of line.

Along those lines, I've seen online prices that were more than when I went into the store to buy an item. Go figure.

I'm personally pretty conservative and socially a little to the left of center but I'm pretty tired of the victim mongers...accountability has apparently become "victim shaming." When did "sleep with dogs, expect fleas" become unreasonable?

Food service businesses that actively clean around you getting your food.
Do that schit when your closed and done for the day.
Example; pizza place windexing the glass display 'near' where the food is.
I see that, I leave and never return. Believe me, I am not a neat freak nor germaphobe.

And another honorable mention to those brilliant people that believe that honeycomb gold BBS wheels look good on an air cooled 911 --- they don't! That is the most hideous looking wheel ever produced.

People dragging their feet when they walk.

People in a busy airport that are completely oblivious to others around them that may need to catch a tight connection.

Waiters and waitresses that come over to your table and ask you how everything is, as they watch you put a fork full of food in your mouth.

That's a matter of opinion, of course. In the right setting with the right wheel, I think they are great.

I used them on my 914 race car and thought they looked good for that car too.

If you pay for it online and request in store pickup, you win. Sounds like you worked it out though.

I rather like them. Like all things associated with vintage Porsches, they are worth a bit more these days.

A bit of a peeve there for me...
