So, I was out with my mum and the dog in the nearest-but-not-nicest town. Walking past a shop I noticed they were selling jeans for £5. (About US$8) 'Great!' I think, 'I need jeans!' So I go and look and select 2 pairs that look as though they might fit. Now, I have trouble buying trousers. My bum and waist are *not* in proportion. So I always have to try before I buy. No big deal right? Wrong.
Taking them up to the cash desk I was told 'you can't try on the half price stuff.'
WTF?! I asked why and they said 'we're just seling them off and consentrating on the other clothes.'
I looked around. Now, had they been busy I'd have understood. But except for me and the two people behind the desk, the place was DESERTED. 'Come on,' I said, 'the place is empty!' But they wouldn't budge. I was told I could bring them back if they didn't fit. Well great but - no. Why should I put myself out for them?
Needless to say, I left without buying anything. Maybe a £5 sale means nothing to them, but if they keep doing that to people, they'll soon find themselves out of business!
