Man, I'm really tweaked.
Bought 3 boxes of Ultramax .45 Colt ammo at Dick's the other day, for $35.99 per box. Yes, I know, its a few bucks higher than most online sources, but most online sources are backordered for months. So I bit the bullet and paid the price.
Decided today that maybe I should grab a couple more boxes to have on hand, so I drove the 30 minutes back to Dick's. Clerk goes to ring them up, and they're now $49.99 per box! ***?! A $14 price jump per box in just TWO DAYS?! For ammo they already had in stock?! Unbelievable. I asked the manager if he would honor the price I paid just the other day, and of course he said no.
So, of course, I said I would politely decline to return to their stores for the rest of my natural born life. They want to price gouge me on ammo? Fine. There are plenty of other places that sell sporting goods that I don't need their overpriced crap. For the price of their $43 ripoff, they lost many hundreds, if not thousands, in future revenue. I'm sure they could care less about one person, but maybe I'm not the only one who feels this way.
