Rustenburg branch refusing to sell me a chair with a price tag that was on display

<p>I went to the Mr Price Home in Rustenburg to buy a highback chair for our new baby room. The chair that I was interested in was on display and had a price tag on it so I would say it seems to be for sale. When I inquired about buying the chair, one of the staff members told me that he could not sell me the chair stating that (and these are his exact words): "Selling this chair would be a conflict of interest between us". I wasn't really sure what he meant by that but he did assure me that I would be able to buy the chair from their website. When I checked later after arriving home I found that the chair was not listed.</p> <p> </p> <p><br />My wife really wanted that chair so while I was paying for a few other items she approached a different sales person and inquired about the chair. The sales person said that the she could buy the chair only to be stopped by the original sales person. After the sales people spoke to each other the chair was no longer for sale (even though it is still on the floor and still has a price tag).</p> <p> </p> <p><br />I don't know what kind of business you are trying to run, but normally when a customer walks into a store and is prepared to pay for an item which you have for sale, you should sell it to them. That is just good business sense.</p>
