And here's where we may actually agree. The ODT sale ad actually IS some guy's miniature store. Be respectful in his establishment (sale ad) even of a seller with a bloated price. You can tell the seller (management in your scenario) privately that he's high as a kite. You can certainly offer him treefiddy. You can also just move along.
Also, not all stores are competitive. You know this to be true if you stop at a convenience store. Ruffles are easily twice as high as a grocery chain. Do I mention it to the clerk, management? No. I just don't buy them there UNLESS I'm desperate for a $4, 5oz bag of Ruffles. I may mutter something about highway robbery to myself, but it certainly was convenient to bite into some Ruffles at a fuel stop.
Here is where we most disagree. Unless I'm price matching (since already shopping there) a retail establishment, I don't and won't mention anything to anyone at StoreA. I just vote with my dollar and buy at the competitive StoreB. If they never sell through their Ruffles stock at StoreA, they'll get the message.
