So I was excited to go to microcenter. Haven't been there in years. Walked in and saw some associates standing there so I asked them about a CPU I wanted to take a look at, the guy gave me a sheet and walked me over to the CPU case. Great I asked him if there was any promos going on, he said there was a $30 off Mobo and CPU promo, also good. I looked at the Mobo I wanted and said it's cheaper on Newegg can you price match it? He said we cannot price match with the promo you would have to buy them separately the Mobo was listed for $119 and Newegg had it for $84, this didn't really make sense. Why would you price match the product then not apply the bundle discount? But whatever I walked around with a case and the Mobo and NVME drive in my basket looking at the GPUs I asked if they had the game codes with the rtx GPU They said no. Ok?? Newegg still had the promo going on, so I asked if I could get a discount on the GPU to replace the game codes I would have to buy, and they also said no. After that I walked around with no help from the associates what so ever, but the moment I saw one they put those stickers that said who sold them on it.

Frustrated not at the fact I didn't get a discount on my GPU or that they wouldn't price match, but at the fact that they barely helped and just popped the stickers on there every time I put a item in my cart.

So I put all the items in my cart back on the shelves asking the associates if they wanted me to take off the extra stickers, They said pretty much "whatever" and I left. Not a dollar spent and I traveled 45 minutes to get there.

Not the experience I was hoping for at Micro Center, I have always heard they are great to work with and if there is a promo going on at a competitor they would work with you. I didn't see that today. Disappointed because I would rather spend the money at Micro Center than Newegg.
