Walmart.com Prices

Walmart.com Prices are BULLSHIT!!!

So your surfing the net and you come across an item you want to buy.  You look for the lowest price around and of course, fucking assholes @ Walmart got that market cornered.  So you go to Walmart.com to see what the price of the item is, lets say $39.99.  You look online and see that the Walmart up the street has it, AWESOME!  You get in your car, drive to the shithole that is Walmart, walk four acres of store and find it.  What's this?!?!?  The fucker is $10 more!  BULLSHIT!!!

Yes, this has happened to me.  It was a Leapfrog Leapster toy and it wasn't even for me!  I was buying it for a charity group that gave us cash to go buy the item, we just had to go get it, wrap it, and bring it to them.  Oh, well that sounds easy enough and it will make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.  Well........where do you think they got the prices to decide how much money to give each person for the gift they were assigned to buy?  ALL TOGETHER.......the internet.  Specifically, Walmart.com.  "What is this internet that you speak of?"  "Well, see kids,  the internet is a network of computers where one can go and view many things, from porn to say.......the prices of items they want to purchase at a certian store without actually going to the store, walking to every dept to find the price of the item before you decide to buy it."

So I'm at Walmart with $40 in one hand and an item that is $50 in the other.  Anyone see a problem?  So I go the the 7th circle of hell that is the Walmart Customer Service counter and ask what gives?  This was thier answer, not even shittin:

Me:
"Why is this item $10 more than it says online."

Bitch @ Walmart:
"Well, see, we don't compete with Walmart.com prices."

Me:
"I'm sorry, I must of slipped in the urine puddle a couple of isles over and hit my head, can you repeat that?"

Bitch @ Walmart:
"We cannot price match Walmart.com."

Me:
"Ummmmmmm.............you ARE Walmart.com."

Bitch @ Walmart:
"No, see, Walmart.com is a seperate entity, we cannot match their prices."

Me:
"Their prices?  You keep saying their prices, like we are talking about Target's website or something."

Bitch @ Walmart:
"Well, sortof, see, we can't sell stuff as cheap as them, since they have a warehouse full of them, BUT you can order it from Walmart.com for that price and have it ship to this store and then pick it up."

Me:
"I could also do that on Amazon.com and it will ship to my FUCKING DOORSTEP!, but I want to take this item and place it in my car and take it home with me now.....any chance of that happening?"

Bitch @ Walmart:
"Yes, for $49.99"

Me:
"Let me ask you this, if you sell all the ones you have on the shelf and you have to restock them, where do they come from?"

Bitch @ Walmart:
"The hub warehouse in XXX (the next town over)."

Me:
"OK, so if I order it online and have it shipped here, where does it ship from?"

Bitch @ Walmart:
"The hub warehouse in XXX (the next town over)."

Me:
"OK, so let's save everyone a little time and sell me this one for $39.99."

Bitch @ Walmart:
"I can't do that, sir, I will get fired."

Me:
"Holy shit!  I thought my boss was strict."

Bitch @ Walmart:
"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Me:
"Yes, you can put this one back on your shelf.  I'll order it from Amazon.com and then my brain won't hurt anymore."
