I just bought a new washing machine. The price on the site said something of 40-50% discount. The store I bought it at has a policy that, if you see an item for cheaper on the Internet (like Amazon or ebay), they sell if for the same price or lower. When I checked a website for price comparisons that also shows a price history you see the the prices where nearly the same the past year. And since they're always among the cheapest seller, the discount is complete and utter BS.

I hate that the stores who do that will often get the same item with a different SKU so that there isn't anything online that they actually match. It could be the exact same product, but different SKU.
