I think you're doing it wrong.
Best Buy is where you go to check-out the picture quality on the new 4K TV or sound quality of the new Sony surround sound reciever.
Amazon is where you actually place the order online!  
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

That's where I went after the fiasco. Only Amazon from now on.
The price was ~$600 less than Best Buy's price. And BB was having a sale!

It's amazing how cheap your prices can be when your company doesn't pay any tax.

IYDMA, where are you living? To cut shipping costs Amazon's largely given up on parking its warehouses in a few low tax flyover states and is building them close to major cities and charging sales tax in 30 states[^] as a result. Oddly enough, IIRC Amazon's changed from opposing an internet sales tax to advocating for it. A more cynical person might suspect they've decided that if they have to suffer the administrative burden of collecting it; so should all of their competitors.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No, they weren't. Best Buy only says it's a sale. It's always their normal prices: MSRP.

You're missing the rant icon!
I recently got a BestBuy.Com fraudulent charge on my credit card. Not a major problem. The bank reversed the charge and issued me with a new card (different number). I wonder what is going on at BB? I have never bought from them, and all my on-line purchases go through Amazon.

Humans are "omnivorous".

A bit off topic, but judging by our teeth, we should be eating more vegetables than meat. Yet, most people never do that. And then they wonder why they have health problems. To eat our meat we have to soften it and use utensils otherwise it's difficult for the body to digest. And we call this natural?

I'll always eat meat, but I wish more people would remember we're meant to eat veggies more than anything else. And yet, nobody does.

Not quite true. I think a lot people recognize that we shouldn't eat meat all the time. I don't eat it that often.

Fair enough, so I'll refactor that to say "a lot of the unhealthy mofos I tend to be around never eat their veggies."

There's a lot of disappointed mommies out there. 
I do agree with you. People eat terrible and then complain about being sick.

"Omnivore" is more than meat and veggies. Please explain how flat teeth are for "veggies" and the cutting teeth for "meat", so I can point out that we still need both to consume either.

There is indeed a difference between the produce from the supermarket or the fastfood-chain and the real animal.

You eat your beans raw? Seriously?
That "softening" that is required for meat is actually simply the start of the rotting process. Cooking stuff is indeed a nice invention

Read my link or do a quick search on anything related to teeth.

Actually, I follow more of a Paleo diet. Beans aren't good for you either. You're not supposed to get bloat and gas from foods like that, the body has a hard time digesting legumes.

It was more than a quick search.

Good, it seems our gut has been used to that for a long time. Won't be much surprises there.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: Beans aren't good for you either.
Neither is smoking, but I'm not aiming at being good either.
Beans might not be "ideal", but no chilli without those either. "Not ideal" because they are not actually that bad, if you consider the ROI. The reason the Western people can 'digest' some part of the milk is because there is a bacteria in the intestines that turns milk into energy and.. gas

Especially compared to chickin'.
