Ordered a camera for Christmas while I was on travel and did not want to risk shipping it, since it was available at my store near home.
Went to pick it up a couple of days later and after waiting in line about 5 min the guy does a lot of typing, and disappears for about 5 min. Comes back and 'We can't find it, it is the last one in the store". Not happy. Guy looks and other store has 60. He redirects my pickup (another 5 min of him typing) and without asking gives me the $24 gift card.
-------
On Black Friday my buddy stood in line waiting for the store to open and got a Wii thing for $7. After standing in line at the register for over 45 minutes (he was 7th in line!) he finds out they can't sell him the Wii thing. It was already sold to someone on line. Somebody tries to override it, they can't sell it to him. NOT HAPPY. Manager finally came and offered him a regular Wii controller for the same price.
