You are lame. Maybe it's because after eating people are more satisfied with everything, and you wanted to get home.

Since McDonald’s was around the corner, and we really didn’t want to waste a whole hour eating

Um that would make you guys cannibals...

Guess we're not cow enough to bother them people in the store any further. We went in for an iMac and we went home with an iMac. For a bit less than we were expecting too.

Sometimes you just have to be happy with the little breaks you get in life. Going out of our way to get more discount, that souped up iMac or something else could and eventually would turn around and bite us in the ass. Its called karma.

I use to work in a customer service environment, one that has high demands in customer service, and anyone who has ever worked in a customer service setting, typically will have some kind of higher demand of the level of service they receive elsewhere (generally speaking).

If I was in that situation, I would argue that I paid for the unit that was in that box, that THEY sold that unit to me, and now they're trying to rip me off. I don't care if it was a mistake or not, the fact is they already sold it to me, and trying to swap it out and opening the box is theft. Even worst, trying to pull a fast one. Of course if you're nice enough, you'll let them slide. I would obviously be pissed, even more so at the fact that I didn't personally get to unwrap the present myself (aka be the first to open it or be the only one opening it for that matter).

There really is no way to rectify such a situation like that unless they ordered a new iMac extreme and replace that in my opinion. Others may be nicer and accept something less or even go with the original iMac (now removed from the box) or do what the Cow did and take the discount, but personally I think they deserve what they get for being dirty. If they had been honest and told me they made a legitimate mistake, I would have been understanding. But since they wanted to be dicks, I'd gladly take it the whole nine yards to get the unit I paid for.

Wow, that's horrible. One time that happened to me too. Those people working at the store should be ashamed! Well, I will not say further other than that they are the "lowest" of all..

You can normally get 25%-35% off for an ex display item. You were had.

Money Blue Book beat me to it, but that is a terrible bait and switch. I as well would not have stood for it. Something about demo models, you don't know which snotty 6 year old has mucked up the keyboard and poked at the screen and turned up the volume too loud and stuck something gooey in the ports and...

Also you really should have gone for Wendy's! Do square patties come from square cows?

That act shows an extremely poor set of morals on their part. I would never have taken that as lightly as you seem to have.

Congrats on your purchase, I need one too..

You really could have gotten away with more than just a $100 bux, I can haggle more with my Business Manager at Pc World, and they tried to screw you over. You should have taken pics told them this will be on digg, and emailed to Steve Job's and than you should have told them you are John Cow, and seen them sweat. You could have walked away with at least a $500 discount.

I don't think this is a bait and switch. He got what he went in for. Plus he got a discount. How is that a bait and switch?

Money Blue Book — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:40:43 -0000

That is actually pretty serious, despite your feeling that it was not a big deal. If I were you I'd write a letter to Apple Customer Service to inform them of this bait and switch. Perhaps you'll get something free out of it. I personally don't stand for this type of occurrence.
