I was at Nordie's yesterday and the pre-sale event signs were all over the place.
Cool.
I was on the fence about a dress and decided I'd purchase it and take it home and sleep on it...try it on again and then decide if I wanted to keep it.
The lady helping me let me know it was going to be 40% off (MAJOR, MAJOR SCORE!) but...since it's the pre-sale event...I'd have to pay for it today but couldn't pick it up until Wednesday.
I'm familiar with how pre-sale events work and have participated in them before but suddenly...it made no sense to me at all. Like...for the first time I REALLY thought about how ri-damn-diculous a pre-sale event is. I pay for something and they put it in a bag, staple my receipt to it and put it in the back somewhere for 3 - 4 days and then I return to pick up something I've owned since the moment I paid for it.
Like...I have to DRIVE back. More gas...more time out of my schedule, etc. to pick u something I already own.
And it would seem to me...that it would be trouble on the part of the store too. I mean...they gotta keep up with all the purchases people have made and go back there and search find your purchase when you come back to get it.
I don't get these events at all.
Because I was in a foul mood I didn't buy the dress and now I'm really annoyed.
Yeah...pre-sale events suck.
Have YOU ever thought about them as it relates to it not making simple common sense?
Or is it just me?
