Sale?!

Customers don't know how to read. 

It's a known fact.

They can stare straight at a sign and totally misunderstand it or not comprehend what it says.

Like they see "Buy" and "Get" and automatically assume that it's "buy one get one free."

Nope it's something like "Buy 2 get 1 free." Or "Buy one get one half off."

In any case.
The customers always seem to get huffy over the fact that what they thought the sign said isn't what it actually said. 

But like.
Read the sign?
Actually read it?

Nope.
Customers can't do it.

In any case.

Today the managers wanted us to put up our black friday prices.
That way we wouldn't be scrambling to put them up Friday morning before the potential mob comes in. 

Which in past years we have put the pricing up.
But usually it's been in the afternoon. Towards closing time that they do that.
You know.
Less chance for customer misunderstanding.

But no.
The manager was confident it would be just fine to put the stickers up this morning for the black friday pricing.

After all.
the tags are BLACK they have "ONE DAY ONLY!" written on them.
surely the customers will realize that's not the actual sale going on and they have to wait until Friday to get the sale they see.

Unsurprisingly.

Customers didn't realize that.

Because they don't read. 
Ever.
They don't read the tags.
They just see a tag and go 'oh it's a sale!" 

There were so many customers we had to let down.
so many customers who got upset that the prices weren't what they thought they were yet.

Like...gah.

I'm glad I only had to deal with it for a few hours.

But seriously.
It was a mistake to put those price tags up first thing this morning. *shakes head*
