Wal-Mart is OK in my book

A few weeks ago Wal-Mart had several new video games available for pre-order. The best part was they had the pricing all wrong. They had Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Nintendo Wii for only $20 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for $30. Knowing full well that these were wrong prices I took a chance and pre-ordered both of these items. Within 24 hours I had received an email stating that they had indeed made a pricing mistake and that the order had unfortunately been canceled. Not a biggie, since I was pretty much expecting it, but it was worth a shot. The only weird thing was I received another email shortly after that saying I had canceled the order and not them. I just blew the second email off. Canceled is canceled, it didn't really matter why. Unfortunately there were all sorts of whiny people out in different forums and message boards that were freaking out and complaining that they were pissed off at Wal-Mart and would never ever shop there again because Wal-Mart screwed up and not them and that they didn't cancel the order, the store did!. Jeez get over it!!! You knew the price was wrong in the first place.

Anyhow, this morning I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my email to find a message from Wal-Mart apologizing for the error and that a $10 gift card was on it's way to me for my troubles. If I only knew in advance they were going to send me money for my troubles I would have place several thousand advanced orders for games under some of my many aliases and I would now have hundreds of thousands of dollars available to spend at Wal-Mart. Actually with several thousand dollars I could buy a Wal-Mart!!!
