I don't know what world you are living in but there are many many retailers who won't match online prices for various reasons, including the costs of the physical store including the staff who took time to listen to your complaint. There is nothing either illegal or unethical going on here.
Finally, phrases like "buyer beware nonsense" and words like class, victim, elite and snobs are not appropriate in this context. I for one am not interested in your politics or ideology. Mobileread has separate forums for politics which you are welcome to opt-in and post to.

I understand. This isn't a forum for ethics and the topic wouldn't interest you. And, I really do understand. It's your responsibility and no one should trust anyone. If you do trust someone and get taken, it's your fault.
Apparently some don't understand the concept of the nanny state either. Expecting honesty, ethical behavior, and good customer service has nothing to do with a nanny state, does it? It has nothing to do with an unethical world that some prefer to live in.
So, I was according to some foolish to talk to management at Sam's Club. But, if they don't drop the price, I will send a message to Amazon.com.mx and see how they react. Then a message to Amazom.com in the U .S. Then, I suppose, Jeff Bezos. I have the impression he is farily decent and honest. But, if I'm wrong, it's my fault.
I am so ignorant, that when I get a book with lots of errors and poor formatting I not only notify Amazon, and expect them to do something, I notify the publisher, who I don't really expect to do anything. Foolish me.
