Me, too.

I also went to buy some tennis shoes at a local brick and mortar (Bob's), and they didn't have my size. I asked if they had any in the back and the guy tells me "No, we don't. However, I can check with our other stores and for an extra $8 we can have them sent right to your house." I declined then bought them on Amazon where they were less than they were in the store and I didn't have to pay for shipping.
You know, while I can admit to not buying things in B&M stores after price-checking with Amazon...I kinda always thought that the app would eventually make some retailers mad.
