So your wife gets there and they only have optimized laptops. Big decision here...do I buy the optimized laptop, or do I say "Thanks, but no thanks" and try elsewhere. And where's the "intimidation"?? Definition of intimidation : *Synonyms: intimidate, browbeat, bulldoze, cow2, bully1, bludgeon These verbs all mean to frighten into submission, compliance, or acquiescence. Intimidate implies the presence or operation of a fear-inspiring force: "It [atomic energy] may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs" Albert Einstein. Browbeat suggests the persistent application of highhanded, disdainful, or imperious tactics: browbeating a witness. Bulldoze connotes the leveling of all spirit of opposition: was bulldozed into hiring an unacceptable candidate. Cow implies bringing out an abject state of timorousness and often demoralization: a dog that was cowed by abuse. To bully is to intimidate through blustering, domineering, or threatening behavior: workers who were bullied into accepting a poor contract. Bludgeon suggests the use of grossly aggressive or combative methods: had to be bludgeoned into fulfilling his duties.* Did any of these tactics happen? Of course not. I suggest looking up words you do not understand before using them against others. How is this a ripoff?? It is apparent in your post that your wife called you before any purchase was made to advise they didn't have any of the non-optimized laptops, and also that after you talked to the manager he agreed to sell you the laptop at the non-optimized price. Again where is the ripoff? Please explain this to me. I want to understand.
