60% + 20% = 68%. Worst. Sale. Ever.

That store completely ripped me off.

They’re going out of business, and they had a nice leather briefcase-ish bag I wanted for replacing my bookbag since soon I’ll be out in the hospitals with patients and don’t want to look like a college student anymore.

It was 60% plus an additional 20% off. In any other store in the galaxy, that would be 80% off. But with them, they meant 20% off the discounted (60% off) price. So it was actually 68% off instead of 80%, which makes a big difference on something expensive to begin with.

I went in today to complain and the same two brainless employees were there who were working last night— the only difference was that their manager who was there last night OF COURSE wasn’t there today. They condescendingly explained to me that 60% off plus an additional 20% of that wasn’t the same as 80% off. Yes, I know, that’s why I came back to get my refund.

Needless to say, they didn’t give it. [/anger]

Oh well, at least I got a nice bag out of it. If I had known they were going to overcharge me, I probably wouldn’t have gotten it, but I think I’m better off in the long run.
