Milking the system
So I got this $10 Kohl’s gift card in the mail a couple of weeks ago, good for any purchase $10 or over. We just had our first Kohl’s grand opening here, so they wanted to do it as a sort of “try us out, see what you like” thing. I’ve gone to the store a couple of times looking for things to buy with it, but I didn’t want to fall victim to their plan (sure, you get $10, but you probably buy something for $24.99 – ha ha! $14.99 in revenue they didn’t have before). I was trying to look for something around $11.99 that I actually needed; then I remembered I could use a few more pairs of socks. There were multiple pairs on display for $10. Perfect! But wait – they were 45% off. Darn. I saw a pair for $15 on sale for $8.25. Great, but I needed something else now to move over the $10 mark. I looked around for something, and then I saw this wonderful holiday napkin ring on sale that looked fairly festive. Here was my bill:
The cashier was quite amused.
