So I run a big fathers day sell at my store(carquest), spend an ass load of money on a nice color news paper add, pass out flyers to all my customers. I have carquest oil on sale for 1.89 a qt, and a few other things. Just trying to get some attention and some business in the store. That price beat advance's price by ten cents. Well three days into my sell, of which BTW I've already sold 40 cases of oil and most of it to one of there biggest customers they decide to run there own sell to cut my throat and sell there oil for 1.75 a qt. WTF why not just leave well enough alone? I don't **** with them when they have there sales why mess with me? :angry:
