I went to Tuggeranong today for some retail therapy (Yes I enjoy grocery shopping!) I popped in to Millers as they had a sale on-everything $20 or less. I found a shirt I was interested in, but as the only shop assistant in the store was wrestling with a mannequin (changing the window displays) I wandered around for about 10 mins, waiting for her to be less occupied so that she would serve me. Eventually I gave up, put the shirt back and walked out.
I did a few other things I needed to but the shirt played on my mind, so I went back to get it. The shop assistant was then standing at the counter sorting a pile of clothes. I grabbed the shirt, walked up to the counter and got on with the transaction.
She scanned the item, an told me it was $24.95. I said, but isn't the sale everything $20 or less? She said Oh that has ended. I turned around and sure enough, there was only 1 sign in the store that said everything $20 or less left. I said I was in here about 30 mins ago and you were busy so I put the shirt back, I came back and the sale has ended?? She said yes, I got a call from head office to say it had finished about 15 mins ago! I said, well I don't want the shirt then! She said well ok, I will sell it to you for $20.
I bought the shirt (should have not bought it on principle!) and left the store.
The situation bugged me so I turned around and walked back and she had removed the remaining instore sign but missed the one in the pic above, which was outside the store...and because of the way she treated me, I wasn't going to let her know about it!
