low what?

So, the Home Depot tells me they are slashing prices, and they even have signs in the store that tell you what the price was before they slashed it. So, basically they're saying, "We were going to fuck you this hard, but we felt bad so we lowered the price and we're only going to fuck you this hard." How sweet of them. It's like a guy comes up to you and says, I was going to hit you in the face, but now I'm only going to hit you in the stomach. How benevolent of them to lower the price on our behalf. It's like they didn't think we lowly commoners could afford such extravagant prices, so they'd better lower them for the rest of us. Seriously? You can't just lower the price and leave it at that?
