Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

My local Micro Center has 8TB WD Red Plus’ on sale for $149.99. Best Buy has them for $169.99.

On my way home from work I stopped at a Best Buy to grab a new hard drive for my degraded pool.

I’ve priced matched Micro Center’s prices at Best Buy dozens of times and was just told to GTFO. Best Buy’s checkout system refuses to go below a certain price and would not honor their price match policy.

I spoke to the store manager and he said he didn’t have the capability to override the checkout system.

Wtf is a price match guarantee if you don’t guarantee it.

Piss off and die Best Buy

I’m going to guess, like many of us, this dude doesn’t live terribly close to a Microcenter.

Don't argue with best buy, only present their own policy everytime they deny. Then ask why they are fighting their own policy. They will bullshit, and present the policy again. Just keep escalating
