Retail sucks. No doubt about it. On both sides of the counter. I'm continually asked "How much is this?" or "This doesn't have a price." only to flip the item over with a price right there, big as day. I sell alot of greeting cards and people regularly say "There's no price on this" Have you NEVER bought a card in your life? They are marked. By the manufacturer. Same on every card.
I am constantly amazed at the lack of common sense and/or math skills. My Halloween stuff is 50% off. Alll day long I get asked how much something is. I say "It's half off the marked price" "Well how much is that?" It's marked $10. That would make it $5. Duh!
By the same token, I have 10% off coupons on books. Most of my younger staff cannot for the life of them figure it out. Book is $29.95....just move the decimal. It's $2.99 off. Good golly!
