Treadquarters False Advertising

Treadquarters failed to honor their "Beat any Price" advertising. I received an online quote from Sears and also had a phone number from Sears I presented to Carey at the Hampton Treadquarters. He stated the quote had to be in writing from Sears and would not accept internet ads, even though I had a phone number for a Sear contact for confirmation.
I'm a recently disabled active duty Colonel pending disability retirement and appeared in crutches. I was treated disrespectfully and belligerently. Military, Veterans, and disabled be warned.
Sears installed the tires today—no problems whatsoever. We even got a $70 rebate and a 5% rebate.
Looking for an attorney now.
