" HOW DEVILISH !!!
"
I am ready to launch a war on confusism (the ability to obscure!) There is apparently a cadre of troublemakers waging war in stores across the country and taking casualties both among the clerks and customers.
How else can you explain the discrepancy between the price you think you should pay and what the cash register rings up? Ah, the evil-doers have struck again. Someone has surreptitiously moved an item onto a different shelf or bin and THAT price doesn't represent the price of what you chose.
Exercise extreme caution in places where two different products are stacked together at the end of the aisle. The sale price is for one of the products, not both! (Did I truly expect the cashews to be the same price as the peanuts? Well.....yes.) Read the fine print at the bottom of the sign !
Never trust the sizing on two-piece outfits. Someone out there wanted a size 12 top and a size 14 matching bottom and did a sneaky switch! (Watch for someone with a bigger butt than expected and you'll have the culprit.)
I know a person so low that he snitches samples from printers in office supply stores if he likes the picture. His next planned move is to return and slyly substitute pictures of his dogs. This will surely confuse the people who work in those places.
You can participate in the confusion game by insisting to a clerk that the item you have before you is on sale! Has to be! It was advertised in the paper. Since the clerk obviously doesn't read the local paper, he/she won't realize that it is on sale at a competitor's business! Ignore the puzzled protestations that sales at his store run Monday through Saturday. What's that got to do with it? Besides, they aren't open on Sunday!
! STAY ALERT !
I'm not easily tricked in the market place. But, still........I shall remain a certified lert. Are you confused yet?
