The issue about your assumption of every item being on sale has already been addressed but I'd like to expand a bit. You assumed that your item would be on sale with no reason other than a wide advertisement of storewide savings. Anyone who has ever been to a store on a major sale days knows that not every item in the store is on sale; very often it is a select few. Had GC advertised that your particular item would be on sale and then did not follow through you would have a reasonable complaint but this does not seem to be the case. They did not advertise such a reduction - you assumed. If your were seriously worried about your heart issues being aggravated due to a long wait in the cold, why did you wait there in the first place? The grand opening events traditionally have a very long line, which you would have seen when you first decided to stand in it. Don't try to blame GC for any health releated issue that you brought upon yourself in an attempt to save a couple of dollars.

The thing to have done, was call in. Yes, this can be a pain...and sometimes they will refuse to give you a price unless you come in. Call again and again. Ask to speak to a manager. Unfortunately, due to the List-MAP agreements that exist in the industry, technically every item in the store is always on sale. This isn't "b.s." or "trickery" but merely a LONG standing (albeit outdated) policy. You know it's not a true "sale" but it is what it is. So unless you read/hear that your particular item of interest is on sale, you cannot assume that it will be. This is basics of ANY RETAIL STORE having a sale.
