ARE YOU TRYING TO SEEL ME SOMETHING HOMIE?

Usually the places where I shop for clothing (Wal-Mart, Target, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Good Williams, D.E.M.O, etc) attempt to lure me in to buy things ALWAYS have HUGE sale signs. And the signs are usually in bright colors so that they stand out in the store. They also try and send their goonies out after me to "make sure I'm finding everything okay", but in reality they try to form this like tight little in store employee/customer bond where they show me where their sale stuff is. They also try and put their like sale items in the very front of the store, so that when you walk in you see the cute, cheap clothing. Sometimes I shop at Hollister and they usually try to sell their perfume by attacking me with its scent (which ever way works best for you buddy). I shop at Kroger and Wal-Mart for my food, and Kroger has a Kroger Plus Card so that you can get discounts on certain products. When I'm in the store i usually look for stuff that has the sign of the card so that I know i'm going to get a discount and will by the product.

Hahahahaha
Bwill i love you.
I never even thought of the way stores try to sell you sale items. you are totally right in that they make the signs huge or give you cards so that you can get extraaa discounts. I also didn't think of the way stores send out their 'goonies' trying to make the sale within the store. I think you were making an argument when writing this blog, bwill. i think the argument is you do buy these sale price items because ou can afford them and they are resonable, you DONT buy the regular priced item because it is most usually overpriced. i think your point is you try to shop smart and not just buy (haha pun) into the rhetorical argument the store is trying to make. very nice!

Ka kaaaa!(wrist twist)
