^ I needed to get an audio CD as a present. It was about $27 on BN.com, not available in store, so had to be ordered. The price I was quoted was $44. I told the person at the register what the price was online, thinking they would price match, and his answer was simply "that's the ONLINE price" and "online is always cheaper", so I told him I'd go order it from amazon.com, where it was cheaper than on BN.com.

BN gave me no reason to do otherwise. They did not have what I needed in stock, so I had to wait either way.

Also, great that I get their coupons by email, but they always exclude ebooks. Why?!
