* Everything seems to be misleading these days. Case in point— went to a name-brand store a few weeks ago with my daughter. On almost every display and clothes racks in the place were signs that read “40% Off Sale.” We even asked the sales lady about the bargains. She said, “Yes, everything is 40% off.” So we went on our merry way and did a lot of shopping damage. Boy, were we surprised when we got to the checkout counter, and NOTHING we wanted to purchase was 40% off. The sales lady behind the counter said it was just a few “select” items that were 40% off! I guess you really do have to read the very fine print on all of the signs that were literally on every rack in the store! So that was our mistake, but to be told right to our faces that everything with a sign was 40% off is what gets me. Needless to say, I won’t be going back there any time soon.
