I attampted to purchase a stack-on safe at the Canadian Tire in Windamere in Edmonton. The safe is in the exit area of the store and was on sale for $499. I needed to talk with three different people before I could actually try and pay for the safe. I was told to go to the loading doors around the back to have it loaded into my vehicle. I waited for over 30 minutes. When staff finally came to the door they told me that they didn't have any safes left. I asked if they could call another store and was told that they are all independently owned so I wouldn't get the same price. They offered the floor model to me but they didn't have the combination to the door so they 'could try phoning me next week if they can find the combo'. (I'm not kidding - they thought I would take it home without any way to get into it) I then had to back around to the front of the store to get my refund. That's when I noticed a sign saying that Canadian Tire will meet any competitors price. Apparently they can't even their your own bloody price across town! After this 45 minute shopping 'experience' I will be sure to avoid Canadian Tire at all costs in the future.
