That was what my elated co-worker said to me yesterday when I came into the room. Over the past year I have been sharing all my tales and adventures with him of all the things I do on my 360. He's not a "gamer" per se but he does enjoy gaming. When he saw me pour a 40 on someone in Saints Row to revive them, he flipped his shit in excitement.
So there we were, in the electronics section at K-Mart searching for someone that looked like they could help us. That's when he called me over to a sign he had found.
"There was a mis-print on the 20% off single item coupon. The coupon is not valid with consumer electronics. Haha boy we dodged one there. It's fun to make up the rules as we go. How are we still in business? Didn't all K-Mart's close down like 5 years ago? Oh well, fuck you buyer."
So with a sad, sad, panda face he walked out the store with no Xbox 360. Sorry Nick. Maybe next year.
it says doesn't work for consumer electronics at sears. (who owns k-mart now) but like most good deals, YMMV... maybe try a different k-mart or a different clerk, you never know
To add I went to Kmart today to use that same coupon for Rock Band. I already have it but I was going to return the other back to walmart and save 40 bucks.
Anyway they actually tried a bunch of times to get it to work, it scanned then laughed at them. They tried other shit but in the end they were like sorry we can't even type this in manually to accept it.
Kmart are a bunch of tools. Both of the ones near my house suck donkey dong. I don't see how they weren't in the crop of stores that were closed down. I'd hate to see the ones that were.
He could have raised a stink and got the coupon honored. The misprint is their fault. In most places, if a product is mis-priced, they have to sell it to you for the price tagged.
I thought that this was going to be the case. Stupid for having coupons. More stupid for not putting the warning on the coupon's. Of course this is K-Mart.
