You think that's bad? Best Buy's website would for several years display higher prices if it detected you were at a Best Buy store!
"It says $80 online" "Here, let's pull it up on the website, $100, you must have been mistaken" Head home, nope, $80.
They got caught - or provably so - when mobile data became better. "Weird, if I turn store wifi off and hit refresh by 3G the price magically goes down".
That ended up in a lawsuit, and no doubt some gift certificates via class action.
