People coming out of the store empty-handed. Classic.
And then there's this gem from CBC:
CBC reporter Aaron Saltzman spoke to construction worker Chris Makris at a Toronto-area store who scoffed at buying a TV for $399 because he claims the same set only cost $199 at the same store two weeks ago.
And finally, from the National Post:
MaryAnn Cooper of Sydney, Nova Scotia said baby wipes that she usually pays $1.92-$2.09 for were now $3 a package and clothing that had been on clearance for $3.50 is now back up to $7.
Amazing how people bought into the hype. |
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Not in the sense of "oh Target!", because I actually liked them while they were here, but in the sense that people should expect a liquidation to slowly ramp up the discounts as items become harder to sell. People shouldn't be surprised that Target is trying to recoup as much as they can in this process. In 6 or 8 weeks, everything will be practically free.
