Maybe I'm in the wrong here but I really don't think so.
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a 50lb bag of 2 row and saw that on Amazon they were $43 but $35 shipping. That was from one of the LHBS that I shop at. I thought to myself; the next time that I'm in there I'm going to get a bag because I'm sure they would sell it for the same price.
Well today was that day. I went in there to get a few things and asked about the 2 row. I looked on my phone and today on Amazon it was $53 instead of $43. Okay no problem. So I asked how much it was for a bag of 2 row and if it was the same price as Amazon.
She said it's 10% off and if I just buy by the pound it's $1.49. She came up with a price of $67 or something. I said yeah but it's $53 on Amazon. She said that's different because we have to run the lights and this store and with Amazon we just throw it in a box.
I said yeah and you still have to keep the lights on.
Anyway instead of getting into an argument I politely said that the reason that I don't buy everything from here is because 'he' is not competitive. I can shop online from Homebrewing.org and get $5 shipping on a $50 order and don't have to pay sales tax. Which I just got a stare.
I am a business man and run my own business and if something like this came up I would certainly price match with my own pricing!
