I was looking for some headphones with a band round the back of the head, so I looked on a few websites and found PCWorld had some cheap ones for £4.99 online or £9.99 in store. You can reserve to collect in store and you pay the web price.
But PCWorld is on the other side of town. So I thought I would see if Currys have them, seeing as they are owned by DSG, the same as PCWorld. They're only a couple of miles away. £9.99 at Currys. But they have a 110% price match. So I went there and asked them to price match PCWorld.
"But we are them, it's the same company," said the manager, "Anyway, it's £9.99 there, isn't it?"
I replied "It's £4.99 online there."
"No."
"
"
"We won't price match them because they're the same company."
On the Currys website, PCWorld is listed as one of the stores Currys will price match.
So I told her to "stuff it", then I went the extra distance to PCWorld and got them for £4.99.
As much as I hate PCWorld, at least their price matches are genuine.
