Okay, this one brought up a "huh?" moment for a while. I posted this about two hacks ago, When I was still at till.
I had a customer come up and said she had a question about flash drives. Okay, I know enough to get me by, lets find out what she needs.:
Me: What's your question?
DC: Where are these flash drives that are in the flyer?
Now I've seen the flyer, these have a $20 MIR and the cost at the end (assuming she got the rebate, was $40 dollars.
Me: Are you sure you want those? We have some that are on clearance here for $20 straight away. Same size as well.
DC: What's wrong with them?
Me: Nothing, completely unused and still in the packaging. The manufacturer must be releasing some larger capacity ones soon.
DC: What's the difference between the two?
Me: Brand name really. There's no moving parts, and the parts quality is generally equal. Just assembled by a different company. Both are exceptional brands for this type of product.
DC: No, I want the one in the flyer.
Me:
okay...
Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard right. This evolutionary shallow pool being, instead of wanting a good product for dirt cheap, decided they wanted to pay 3 times the amount for one in the hopes they will get a rebate that will push it to only twice the amount.
