The promise of 40% discounts drew Bud to the Boisie, Idaho store, but he settled for a 10% discount on an iMac and several accessories." This is how the customer describes the case: I start counting out hundred dollar bills and the clerk goes nuts! "Sir, we don't accept cash for this kind of purchase! You must use a credit card!" she says at the top of her lungs. (I see her also hit a button on the phone at the same time.) Instantly a man shows up, clearly the manager from his nametag and the
rent-a-cop security guy. Both tell me the same thing, "NO CASH! You have to pay with a credit card!"" And he or she continues: So I called the store to see if the items I wanted were in stock, after I asked the guy about them he said, "I know who you are, your the guy that wanted to pay cash. My district manager & corporate called me and read me the riot act over this. Thanks for getting me in
trouble!"
