editor Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I bought my Mac at the Apple store at the Galleria. I found out two months later that I could have gotten a corporate discount through my employer by showing my employee ID. I was mad. With all the software I bought I could have saved $500. No, they wouldn't refund the difference. I blame my manager who didn't know about the discount. I had to find it on the company intranet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
