I particularly hate the “Early Bird” sales they have…I saw a sapphire jewelry set that I’d rather like to have, but the sale prices are only good from 9 AM to 11 AM, on two days. Nope. And now that I know how much the jewelry is marked up there, I’m not likely to buy any jewelry at all from them. I expect an insane markup on jewelry. However, if they can sell something for $19.99 when normallly it’s over $100, then that tells me that the markup is more than insane.
My mother “won” a Caribbean cruise a couple of years ago. We pry after the whole schpeal…the cruise was 8 hours long (cue the Gilligan theme) which would require us to fly across country on our own dollar to Ft. Lauderdale. For an 8 hour cruise.
When I bought my car they told me I got “Free wiper blades installed twice a year.” Cool perk methinks. Except I misheard them and what it REALLY was was, “Free wiper blades INSTALL, twice a year.” Oh fantastic…you mean you’ll not charge me for the 20 seconds it takes to put them on? How generous! I feel so valued!
