My only gripe with Microcenter is that their price tags are never, ever accurate. I'm staring at the RAM that says $72.99 and the motherboard which says $119.99 and thinking I can get them cheaper online. So an employee walks by and I just happen to ask "whats the cheapest DDR4 you have" and he proceeds to tell me that the $72.99 RAM is currently on sale for $42.99 and the motherboard is on sale for $89.99 after asking him to check that too.
WTF? How hard is it to update your price tags? I was about to walk out with only a processor purchase, I can't imagine the amount of sales they miss out on.
