Yup.
They're real good about advertising that they price-match (omitting a lot of details) then make a big hassle about it when you call them on it.
Think about this, these "employees" just work there. What do they get from turning down someone who wants to price match? Are the employees getting a percentage of the sales from Best Buy? Hell no.
I wouldn't doubt for a second that there is something more going on at the corporate level.
