Frippin; rebates. I hate mail-in rebates. Pain in the ass, and they
usually never show. Which is what the retailer counts on, I guess.

Humbug. Bah.


If you went Christmas shopping instead of holiday shopping you would
not
have that problem Harry. ;-)

I went Christmas shopping. These gifts are for "Christians."
In fact, I left a grand worth of merch at the checkout after a nice
piece
of gear I found at a really nice price was only priced really nice
because
of a $150 mail in rebate, the language for which was in the smallest
possible type at the bottom of a countertop display. There wasn't even
an
asterisk.

I'm not sure the manager of the Office Depot ever before heard a
customer
in a crowded shopping lane say to his face, "Fu*k you and fu*k your
lying
store, too."

Heh heh.



So why did you have to swear at the manager like that? Was the rebate his
doing?
