Had to purchase a couple of items needed for some work next week, today looked on the net and found the best price was in fact from a local photographic company in Adelaide in their online catalogue. I rang them and yes they had the items in stock, I asked if they were the same as the Internet price... they said 'yes'... so put them away for me and I will pick them up later this arvo.
Had to go a bit out of my way, pay for parking etc went in and got the bits one item was $5 more and the other $6 above the web price when I asked why and would they honour the web price of their own store, they said NO due the shop costings were different from the warehouse costings and a different franchisee. (and wouldn't budge on price)
Needed the bits so paid the price but I'm not going back again despite needing to purchase a couple of more costly items before the end of financial year.... sorry the web wins, and they wonder why the local guys down the tube.
It's a shame that you didn't have the option of denying them the sale in that instance.
Same thing happened to me yesterday.
Went to the store and they added 10% GST to the price that was on their website. I said to them "don't you know who I am" but they didn't care.
I thought prices were supposed to always include GST.
I'm going to tell Derryn Hinch.
I can understand the extra cost of an in-store sale.
But if they told me on the phone that it would be the same as the web price, then tried to charge me more after I drove down there (albeit $11) I'd have told them to jam it.
just show these owners have no common sense at all - walk into my shop with cash and its actually less than what i advertise... like durrr these guys above you mention won't be around in a couple of years - 2013 will be my 30th year.

Finally caught up.
...and then there is the 'Australia tax'. When I was in Germany I couldn't help but notice bread prices were < 1 euro. It's like $4+ here for a loaf of bread!
Here's an iceberg lettuce for 0.45http://www.aldi-nord.de/aldi_obst_und_gemuese_387_386_1105_14502.html
Find that in an Australian supermarket.
In that case so will I. Here is an eel I caught. I m going to smoke it. Apparently you have to light it from the thin end.
It is nearly quite big thank you very much!
Bloody mission, there are two others in the dam swimming around with hooks in their guts that I feel quite bad about. I had to buy some 50 kilo nylon and the traces because the farkers get inextricably knotted up in the water lilies and you cannot get them out on ordinary line.
When it has been in the bath for as long as I can avoid washing the muddy taste should be out of it. Then I am going to slaughter it and hang it in the chimney to smoke.
****ing hell Adolph!
I have been sitting out here in the bush reading the Power of Now and listening to Prem Rawat, not seen or spoken to anyone in two days, no three now, contemplating my existence and you go and put a downer on it.
I have not eaten meat since my birthday in January, red that is, and was balancing up the karma of knocking it on the head and now?
There is only so much hommus and spinach you can eat you know!
Besides there are heaps of them, Aussies have not woken up to the fact they are good to nosh.
