Sale Conspiracy Theories

[Kit-Ginevra]

Oh yes,having your back area clogged up(especially with toffees or caramels) is no fun for anyone...

1)We were hiding sale merchandise so the employees could buy it all up themselves
2)We were hiding sale merchandise because it was on sale and we were hiding it until the sale was over and then we would put it back out.
3)We were hiding it because not only was it on sale, but there was a big coupon in the paper for it

The real answer is aliens regularly steal your sale items, and only your sale items.

Well, people have said at various times that I either had to be a space alien or can communicate with them...if only I could zap the 472.6 cases of coffee in the back to a pocket dimension (cue the highly-caffeinated alien invasion...)

Aliens? I thought it was those damn underpants gnomes again

But seriously, the "theories" that people come up with are insane. Companies are in the business to make money. They're not going to sit on pallets of crap and bring it out later. Doing so actually *costs* money. Also, if they run out of stuff, there's no "bait and switch" going on. You want the sale item, get to the store earlier then. As to the "you're hiding it so the employees can buy it" line, are you kidding me? I really doubt that the employees at Home Depot want to buy those discounted fence posts, even if they're on sale

Well. Maybe. ... To pound up your wazoo ...
