Unless is says "Sale" then its not a "Sale". "As Advertised": Just in an Ad. "Price Cut": New price. "Clearance": We do not want this shit anymore, you take it.
haha. i work at target. we put up fake sales ads all the time. youd be amazed at how many people will buy the same item for the same price just because it says "sale".. lol suckers.
i didn't either until it was pointed out to me that in the picture he actually flipped up the current "promotion" tag (the one that says 'was 24.99 now 19.99' to show the ORIGINAL tag saying it was 19.99 not on sale... so.. um.. yeah... the original price was actually 19.99 and they made a tag that said 24.99 to make it seem like it was on sale ;/
No, if you read the big yellow balloon you'll see it is a "Price Cut". As in $19.99 is the new regular price. The label underneath has been changed to ensure the right price is shown if someone removes the fold up sign.
he is in fact wrong... if you look at the angle of the "price cut" you'll see that the price tag plastic thing is shaped like |_ which shows the current thing as "was 24.99 now 19.99" or else the "price cut" sign will be at a 90degree angle.....
Here is how it works: In the US you can only advertise a permanent price reduction (price cut) for 60 days. Retailers (like Target) want to do this for as long as possible. So when they reduce the price they replace the old price label with the new one and put an easily removed label over it showing the was:is comparison. Then on day 61 they can just take the was:is label down before the store opens without having think about it.
This also ensures that if someone takes down the was:is label early, the correct price is up even if they don't notice the was:is sign is missing for another 30 days.
I only know this because I worked there during college and shopper-stupidity in regard to signs and pricing always pissed me off.
It says 19.99, it rings up 19.99, shut up and pay 19.99 you whinny bitch.
Wait, what? If consumers are paying for it, its capitalism. If EVERYONE pays for it equally regardless of if they shop there or not or the label is subsidized by the government, then its socialism.
Dudes right i used to work for targed a few years back and that is how they did things. i just didnt notice in the first picture the tag is flipped up so i didnt get what the big deal was.
Of course I buy tools from Target, JTK. If you research, you'll find many tools come from identical manufacturers, just name branded differently. Take Husky from Home Depot, for instance, They are the same exact tools from Stanley, just higher priced. I have the Stanley 201 piece mechanics tool set, and the ratchets, sockets, et al, are the same exact ones in the Husky set. BTW, Stanley owns Husky.
These were obviously original price tags that weren't removed yet. All the other original tags in other departments were gone. These were the only ones side by side with the "price cut".
Comments to Target Bullshit Price
FAKE! Target wouldn't lie.
Thats WalMart, douche bag.
The title says Target.
It is target. Walmart has different tags.
Just because your wife buys her lingerie at Target doesn't make you an expert.
I work at Walmart (and now the bullshit starts, I know). The tags are from Target.
Hahaha! I told you guys that LSD had made a new account.
That sucks.
lsd who?
^noob
Nice deflection.
In fact many stores have "sale" signs that report the regular price as a sale price.
In fact, they aren't refering to the sale sign.
Unless is says "Sale" then its not a "Sale". "As Advertised": Just in an Ad. "Price Cut": New price. "Clearance": We do not want this shit anymore, you take it.
I think you are a big, stupid liar.
It's like a going out of business sale right? Sometimes they stay in business, by going out of business.
There's mattress or furniture store or something along those lines near Seattle that's being going out of business for 10 years.
haha. i work at target. we put up fake sales ads all the time. youd be amazed at how many people will buy the same item for the same price just because it says "sale".. lol suckers.
you americans are twats , that shit illegal here in the UK
haha, it took me a bit to figure this one out...
thats because its fucking stupid
and that is where? so I never get to shop there
i dont get it.
i didn't either until it was pointed out to me that in the picture he actually flipped up the current "promotion" tag (the one that says 'was 24.99 now 19.99' to show the ORIGINAL tag saying it was 19.99 not on sale... so.. um.. yeah... the original price was actually 19.99 and they made a tag that said 24.99 to make it seem like it was on sale ;/

No, you are incorrect.
Actually, I think you might be right.
he is in fact wrong... if you look at the angle of the "price cut" you'll see that the price tag plastic thing is shaped like |_ which shows the current thing as "was 24.99 now 19.99" or else the "price cut" sign will be at a 90degree angle.....
that makes no sense why they would put that under there :(
unless i'm missing some sort of secret shopping method you guys use in the usa..
No, you are incorrect.
Actually, I think you might be right.
I don't think so.

It says 19.99, it rings up 19.99, shut up and pay 19.99 you whinny bitch.
so basically its the consumers that are paying for that price tag to be there for 60 days... YET MORE PROOF THAT SOCIALISM IS RUINING AMERICA
Wait, what? If consumers are paying for it, its capitalism. If EVERYONE pays for it equally regardless of if they shop there or not or the label is subsidized by the government, then its socialism.
Plus, stupidity is ruining America. Simple as that.
You are living proof. Now shut up.
its called sarcasm... its what canada is built on.
Yak, that and Who's Line is it Anyway?
Dudes right i used to work for targed a few years back and that is how they did things. i just didnt notice in the first picture the tag is flipped up so i didnt get what the big deal was.
its always like that at target.
Americans are ruining America.
Bullshit. Butt plugging, Jesus loving, fags, hippies and niggers are running America...
poor bastards
What's wrong with hippies?
Who buys tools from Target anyway? Man up and head to a Sears, Home Depot or Lowes for chrissakes.
*wishes he knew a Target slogan or jingle*
Do they even have a jingle?
who buys anything? i have people do handy work for me, and they all fit really well in the back of my truck.
Gnomes?

You're crazy, dude. Tool crazy.
So what you are saying is that you are in love with a husky guy named Stanley that works at Home Depot.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... see what i did there?
...Failed?
Alot of places do this... Call it a sale and jack up the "original" price to make it look like you're getting a 2-for-1 or some shit...
These were obviously original price tags that weren't removed yet. All the other original tags in other departments were gone. These were the only ones side by side with the "price cut".
Ha, yeah - we did that shit all the time when I worked there.
thats illegal in England
but i suppose what we Brits do you yanks dont like to copy
Who would copy a stupid Limey...
We're plenty fucking stupid already, I know, but theres no sense in adding to it.
^From the self acknowledged Stupid Society of America
