Grand Sale???

I eagerly waited for the weekend to check out the Grand Sale of Brunei which is currently on-going. The first stop was a departmental store in Jalan Tutong which we frequented as they have some cool men's wear. Upon arrival, the selection did not failed us. There were lots of nice polo shirts with very good material and darn cheap. Who can complain with polo shirts going at $6.40 and $9.90!!! I manage to try out a few in the tiny cubicle and sorted out the ones that did not make me look like a pumpkin. While trying out a few of them, Bahrin pulled out a shirt that was marked with gold wordings - "House of Glamourous People". I told myself, I must have that whether it fits me or not!!! That was such a cool shirt to have.... and to top it off, it was only $16.90!!!


So, while Bahrin was trying out his selection, me with my ichy fingers decided to peel of the price tag as it was stuck on to the previous price. I wanted to see how much the original cost was, so that I can brag that I bought it for $49.90 or something like that, as the shirt looks really expensive. I was in complete shock when I saw how much the shirt actually cost and stood there frozen!!! With a big Sale sign hanging just right below me, this turqouise shirt with gold lettering screaming out at me to buy it, cost $14.90!!!


I felt so cheated and appalled at such a reputable store. Ok, so it was cheap anyway. But at least have the decency to peel off the old price tag and just paste the new price tag for goodness sake!!! I even went up to the sales lady and all she could say was, "Wrong pricing". Wrong pricing on every single shirt that has $14.90 price tag covered with $16.90 on top of it???? Do I have the word "Stupid" written on my forehead??? Please!! Give me some credit!!!


So, for everyone's sake, "let your fingers do all the peeling" especially when those lazy b@#t*?ds are to lazy to take off the old tags and paste the so-called Sale Price on every items in their store!!!
