"trying to price-match a TV for a dollar."
Nathan for You
"Is that correct?"
Nathan for You
"- How did you find out about that promotion?"
Nathan for You
"Uh, a flyer."
Nathan for You
"It was a flyer that was in the..."
Nathan for You
"- A flyer. - Mm-hmm."
Nathan for You
"- Did anyone tell you to go to Best Buy that day?"
Nathan for You
"- Well, yes."
Nathan for You
"I mean, no."
Nathan for You
"No. I just wanted to go."
Nathan for You
"- And was the television for you, or was it for someone else?"
Nathan for You
"- It was for you. - Mm-hmm."
Nathan for You
"- Then how would you explain this footage?"
Nathan for You
"What you'll be doing is going to Best Buy"
Nathan for You
"and using this flyer to price-match"
Nathan for You
"and get a TV for a dollar... - Okay."
Nathan for You
"- And you'll bring that TV back to me for me to keep it."
Nathan for You
"It's not yours. You understand, right?"
Nathan for You
"- Mm-hmm."
Nathan for You
"- How do you explain that?"
Nathan for You
"- Um..."
Nathan for You
"I..."
Nathan for You
"began to concern me,"
Nathan for You
"and as more and more took the stand,"
Nathan for You
"Ms. Barcelona,"
Nathan for You
"- [laughs]"
Nathan for You
"No."
Nathan for You
"I began to have doubts about our chances"
Nathan for You
"To make matters worse,"
Nathan for You
"I had obtained on Best Buy..."
Nathan for You
"otherwise you can't introduce their testimony,"
Nathan for You
"- But I have it on video."
Nathan for You
"- No, that's not good enough."
Nathan for You
"but when I arranged a meet-up"
Nathan for You
"to ask her if she would be willing to testify in person,"
Nathan for You
"- That's really weird"
Nathan for You
"that you'd take someone on a date and then ask them,"
Nathan for You
""Hey, dude, like, why don't we sue Best Buy?""
Nathan for You
"- Elle didn't want to help me out,"
Nathan for You
"my case had taken a huge blow,"
Nathan for You
"but for some reason, once she was gone,"
Nathan for You
"Here was a woman who thought"
Nathan for You
"but it was all just a calculated ruse"
Nathan for You
"no better than the corporation I was trying to defeat,"
Nathan for You
"that in my efforts to take down Best Buy,"
Nathan for You
"- You know, when you work at Best Buy,"
Nathan for You
"- But I didn't want to break the heart of another angel"
Nathan for You
"who was just searching for a real connection..."
Nathan for You
"- Admittedly, it's been awhile since I've been on a date."
Nathan for You
"and give up on getting Alen his TVs."
Nathan for You
"I stumbled upon a conversation I had with Alen"
Nathan for You
"on the day of his big promotion."
Nathan for You
"- She says like, "You know, you should, you know,"
Nathan for You
"find someone and get married, so... have kids.""
Nathan for You
"- Your mom? - Yeah. So."
Nathan for You
"- And it made me realize that my definition of success"
Nathan for You
"might've been entirely wrong."
Nathan for You
"- Just concentrating on the job, so."
Nathan for You
"- Yeah. - Yeah."
Nathan for You
"- I didn't see it before,"
Nathan for You
"but the truth was all over his face."
Nathan for You
"Alen might've said he wanted some TVs at a discounted price,"
Nathan for You
"but it wasn't what he needed."
Nathan for You
"So, the next day, I returned to Speers"
Nathan for You
"for so many years."
Nathan for You
"- It's okay."
Nathan for You
"- Yeah, that's fine. Yeah."
Nathan for You
"- Okay. One sec. - Okay."
Nathan for You
"- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Hi, Cathy. Nice to meet you."
Nathan for You
"Yeah. So. - Good."
Nathan for You
"- Okay. Which location? Was it around?"
Nathan for You
"made me feel great about what I had done."
Nathan for You
"- The crazy thing is, like, once it starts raining"
Nathan for You
"- Oh, yeah. Then they freak out. Yeah."
Nathan for You
"- They're like, "Oh, my God, we need the sun."
Nathan for You
"because it would give me more time to focus on my work."
Nathan for You
"- So 773 is a Chicago area code..."
Nathan for You
"- Okay. All right. - But it's my cell phone."
Nathan for You
"- It was good to meet you. - Good to meet you too."
Nathan for You
"Well, employee discount, you know..."
Nathan for You
"- 40%."
Nathan for You
"- [whispering] Oh, my God."
Nathan for You
"- What do you get at Best Buy?"
Nathan for You
"- I think it was 40% off."
Nathan for You
"and I graduated from one of Canada's top business schools"
Nathan for You
"Now I'm using my knowledge to help struggling"
Nathan for You
"♪"
Nathan for You
"that's been operating in the neighborhood"
Nathan for You
"- Their sales are ridiculous."
Nathan for You
"I mean, there's no way that I can compete."
Nathan for You
"- And if it keeps up,"
Nathan for You
"So I paid Alen a visit with an ambitious solution"
Nathan for You
"I mean, it's bad for small business."
Nathan for You
"- One of the main reasons"
Nathan for You
"Alen has such a hard time competing with Best Buy"
Nathan for You
"preventing stores like Speers from underselling them,"
Nathan for You
"to make his TVs virtually free,"
Nathan for You
"according to Best Buy's own policy,"
Nathan for You
"to make a huge profit."
Nathan for You
"The plan: use Best Buy's price-match policy against them"
Nathan for You
"- Um..."
Nathan for You
"- It might take a little bit of work and time to do."
Nathan for You
"- Okay."
Nathan for You
"- So you don't have commitments at home"
Nathan for You
"or anything right now?"
Nathan for You
"Relationship stuff?"
Nathan for You
"- I'm not in a relationship, no."
Nathan for You
"- I'm not in a relationship either, so..."
Nathan for You
"- Oh."
Nathan for You
"- Okay. All right. That's fine."
Nathan for You
"- After a bit more discussion,"
Nathan for You
"from buying up all of Alen's dollar TVs,"
Nathan for You
"I then had all the dollar TVs moved to an area"
Nathan for You
"at the back of the store"
Nathan for You
"and had a new wall constructed to surround this area"
Nathan for You
"through a tiny, two-foot-tall door."
Nathan for You
"Finally, in between the door and the TVs,"
Nathan for You
"which would hopefully force customers who made it this far"
Nathan for You
"According to Best Buy's policy,"
Nathan for You
"price-matches are restricted to one item per customer,"
