I abandoned a merchant, not just my shopping cart because of that.

advanceautoparts or something. was buying from them, got to the checkout, searched for coupons, found that they have 25%+ coupons going on year around.

I can't possibly buy from a site that has all it's prices upmarked by at least 25% to begin with.

I guess you don't buy much, then.

Well, that's because they are primarily a retail operation. They want to have different prices for online shoppers versus retail shoppers.

I find it handy, because I can place an order online and pick it up at the store. But I usually get 20% off. Hmm...
