No, we do not get anything if you buy a high price item or not. Like UAIOE said, the only thing that we have to do it try to get you to by the PSP/PRP any way possible.

Now, I will ask you if you want it, and if you say that you do not that will be the end of it, I ring you up and you go on your way. However, there are some people that will out and out lie to you to try to get you to buy the thing. That is the only thing that I dislike about my job.

Every thirty minutes we have a manager showing us the numbers for the day and bitching that we do not have numbers that are high enough for them. I know that their bonuses are based on how much we sell, but I should not have to lie to people so that my managers can make more money. I really like working at best buy, I just hate the way the store is run.

Some Whirlpool models are price protected at Best Buy, and 99% of the time, these agreements are across the board at all retailers.

I'm guessing, either

a) Sears screwed up and priced the washer lower than they shouldn't have.

b) THeir washer was a similar but slightly different or slightly older and had been removed from the price restrictions.

c) Most likely, since Sears and Whirlpool have been partnered forever, and Whirlpool builds all or most of the Kenmore line, Sears probably has a less restrictive policy, or none at all.

If this is so, the BB employee probably should know that, but she probably told you what she did in all honesty, since I've never seen an exception to one of these agreements yet.
