Nice angry people get the advertised prices
A Target customer named Jared tried to take advantage of that Target sale where all DS games $24.99 and above were on sale for $24. Target refused to honor their own ad. Jared persisted in trying to get the discount. He didn’t get it because the store admitted they were wrong. No, he got the discount because he was a very nice angry person, and didn’t yell at the employees.
I check out with the remainder of my purchases. After collecting my bags, I follow the supervisor over to electronics to continue our argument over Target’s inability to match their own ad. She sees me, and I say, “I would really like to know why you won’t match your ad.” “It is a new game, so we can not adjust it.” “Listen, I am sorry that we are having this little argument, but I will not accept any of these excuses because the ad is worded in such a way that no matter what you tell me, I am going to be right, and you are going to be losing a customer if this is not taken care of.” She thinks about it and takes it to the electronics boat register and says, “Because you have been one of the nicest angry people I have dealt with, I will go ahead and match the price.” This statement, to me, is in itself completely stupid. You are not going to change the price because YOU are wrong? But because I am a nice angry person? “Well, thank you, but we should change the price because the ad dictates it is should be that price.” “Ok she says.”
