Thread Name: BS: Half Price?
Subject: RE: BS: Half Price?
I must say that the thing that always tickles me about goods on display is not so much the price but the instance where they have 'none of those in stock'.
Imagine the conversation - I have had it at least 10 times now.
Me. "I would like to buy a xyz, just like the one on display please"
Shop. "Sorry, we are out of stock"
Me. "No you're not. You have one on display"
Shop "Ahh, but that is for display only"
Me "Why is it for display only?"
Shop "So people can see what we sell"
Me "But you have none in stock anyway so why are you displaying one?"
