Bait & Switch BS at Home Depot! (Caution! I'm still worked-up here...)

Sorry for the pain .. I've found stuff online at HD and driven there to find a different more expensive price. I've then literally, gone out in the parking lot and ordered it through the App for the lower price with store pick-up .. then walked up to customer service 30 minutes later and been handed the same item I had looked at earlier.

I thought about that, I really did.

But then it occurred to me that, 1) This isn't the first time they've done this to me (albeit at a much smaller level), and 2) Why should I reward them for this behavior? Doing so would only seem to show that I tacitly agree with this this...which I do not.

There's a small town lumber yard about 15 miles from our house....on the opposite side of town from my commute (out of my way, IOW), but they can order it for me. May be out of my way, but looks I may be "Buying Local" from here on out.
