I've just about had it. My store is having our annual summer sale. Nothing has really changed from ALL the other sales we have throughout the year, and have had in past year. We are instructed as to what is on sale, and we mark the tickets accordingly.
Said merchandise is put on the floor, separately from the full price stuff, AND there are signs, in the window, and on top of each rack containing sale items., and they read as follows:
Save up to
X % off
the original price
Granted, the top and bottom lettering is lighter than the number, but come on, it still SAYS it...i can't tell you how many people think a. all sale stuff is x% off, or b. its an ADDITIONAL x% off the sale price marked on the ticket!
I've had customers whine and moan how misleading it is, and today, one who said it was false advertising! I can't figure that one out since it says it on the sign, clear as day. Just because all you idiots and morons only see what you WANT to see is not my problem.
we also have a promo going; if you spend x dollars, you get x percent off your total purchase. Again, no one can be bothered to READ the signs, and then they complain about how they thought it was on sale! sure, if you spend x dollars, but buy one item at full price, sorry, no discount.
And whining, bitching or moaning will not make me give you some special disocunt only YOU think you deserve.
I cant' wait for it to be over!
