Deceptive Pricing at CompUSA

As quoted in this piece:

Quoting:Here's the issue: the only way you'd know there was a rebate was to read some microscopic print on the price tag. I mean really, really tiny print. This is in the "bring your magnifying glass" category of tiny. I kid you not. There are price tags all over the store that have rebates. Most have the words "Final Price" in big, bold, red letters so that you know there is a rebate involved. This one didn't. It also wasn't the only tag like this.

One possibility of thwarting practices such as this one at TigerDirect/CompUSA is to note the clearly-visible price tag on the rebated item to be purchased, and then ring up the item at the cashier. When the item then rings up at the cash-register as its full charge without the microscopically-printed rebate sum, then simply return this for the reason that the rebate clause was not displayed well enough; e.g., a claim of false advertisement, customer dissatisfaction, or another related reason claim. Once TigerDirect's/CompUSA's cashiers and store managers have had enough of the backlog of returned rebated items, then they will perhaps pass along their complaints on the rebated items' advertising and packaging to both upper-level company managers and then (hopefully!) to the manufacturers themselves.

Of course there are other factors to consider before actually carrying this out, such as offers for competitively-priced non-rebated items, restrictive store policies, the presence of restocking fees for returned items, ... etcetera.
