Banana Republic's Fluid Pricing

I found a beautiful dress at Banana Republic, tried it on and bought it. It must have shrunk in my closet because when I put it on for a party it was too tight. No problem, this ranting shopper has plenty of dresses.

When I went back to exchange it for a larger size, there were none left, but I found out that it had since been marked down. The salesman kindly searched the area for the right size and found it at a location no more than 50 miles from my home. As I gave the salesman at the other location my account information to have it sent to me we confirmed the price. Quel suprise, it was marked at the higher price. The only way to get the lower price was to return to the original location with the receipt once the dress arrived and get a price adjustment.

WHAT UP WITH THAT???!!!

Now it seems that this national chain prices according to the median income of the surrounding area. Kind of like the insurance companies redlining according to neighborhood. Not right!!!!!
