At Sam's Club today, eyeing a watch. Waiting for associate to let me see it. Open Amazon, read reviews. Over $20 less on Amazon. Asked if Sam's price matches.

> No.

In two taps, right in front of her, ordered it.

Said she understood. Thanked her for showing it to me.

Dude, that’s a total dick move.

Is twenty bucks really that precious to you that you’ll throw money out of your local economy into Bezos’ pockets? Right in front of someone who just helped you decide this is the watch you wanted and could have put it in your hands right now instead of waiting for shipping in the middle of the super-busy Christmas season and hoping it’s not gonna end up be a counterfeit copy?

And the Walton family needs another buck? I don't think Sam's club is any better for the local economy then amazon.

You being able to see and touch it costs money.

The time of the employee who showed it to you costs money.
