  • That doesn't mean what you think it means

    And then there was this lady ....

    We've had some lip gloss on clearance for awhile. I'm not really sure how long, but it's been a few weeks at least. But you see, only certain shades are on clearance, not ALL of that brand.

    This lady has me paged to the front register for a price check.
    "This lip gloss is on clearance!!!!!!"
    I'll go check ma'am, but I do know that not all of the shades are on clearance, just the ones we are no longer carrying. I go check and, of course, the shade she picked up was NOT one of the ones on clearance. Well, that just wouldn't do ...

    "Show me which ones ARE on clearance then!" she demands. So we go over to the display and I show her that only 4 shades are on clearance, and the one she picked clearly was not. Unfortunately, all of the clearance shades are gone. I apologize and pull the clearance tags down.

    Her parting shot? "If you put something on clearance then you should HAVE some!!!!!"
    Wait, what? Isn't that the point of clearance? To get rid of the item???? <shrug>

    You can't apply logic to this situation, it doesn't fit with the SC's worldview...

          You used that word. I think you do know what that word means.

              I work in a children's clothing store. The past weekend (the last weekend before Christmas) a customer comes in looking for Christmas pjs. I let her know that sorry we are all sold out. Her reply, that's rediculous it the week be for Christmas you should have Christmas pjs.

              i don't think she gets how retail works. We don't want any left by Christmas because on one will buy them after Christmas.
