How AAG does their shopping: EXTREME Couponing Edition!

1) They find a product they want.
2) They find a bunch of stores that sell it.
3) They hire a middleman henchman to go to one of the more expensive stores on their behalf to "offer to buy the product" at that store, but only if they lower their price to at least that of the cheapest alternative store offering the product.
4) If the store doesn't seem interested in the deal, then they threaten the store with "how unfortunate it would be" if "something" happened to their business, should the deal fall through.
5) Assert to the store employees that the above threat is just "folklore" and you're just trying to paint an accurate picture of their future.
6) Store employees wonder "why didn't AAG just go to the cheaper store to begin with?"
7) AAG desperately hopes their true intentions remain hidden.

AAG has enough cash to shop at any store they please.
Their couponing is an addiction that they acquired years ago.
It no longer has anything to do with money.
It is a demonstration of power, greed, and control.
Do not give them the satisfaction.
Do not allow yourself to continue to be a pawn in their game.
Stand for something.
Have value.
