They just want to look good to you without doing anything to rile the contributors.

I have now begun going to stores and inquiring about things which I know have rebates, then I spend some time talking to the salesman about it, then, when he/she tells me about the rebate, I tell them I would buy it if they deducted the rebate amount on the spot. When they say "No," I tell them I guess I'm not interested. Hopefully, this will eventually make it back to someone who is listening and has some influence. It creates a tremendous ammount of ill-will.
