I hate retailers using Black Friday for sales when it's not Black Friday.
They are able to because the consumers are dumb enough for it to draw them in.
I object!!! My local Wal-Mart is filled with intellectual titans:PQuote:

Sales/pricing lady told me one day reason they put things on the end caps because they know people will buy them. Most of the time they aren't even on sale, just on the end cap because people think they are on sale. A bag of chips will be $2.50 regular price.
So they will just put them 2/$5 and people buy them up like crazy all because how they are presented. :D
...Black Friday sale in July you say? haha
I remember getting an e-mail from Comp USA on almost a weekly basis "Black Friday Prices" ... go fuck yourself.
Best Buy is having Black Friday in July tomorrow and Saturday.
I actually work for a large Grocery store in the south and I know for a fact this is true. I was a manager for about 5 years and we had a policy to put "sale signs" on items we had excess inventory on with the regular price. You would be amazed at how much it increases the sales of these items. You put items in the middle of the speedway and regardless of whether or not it is normal retail price people will impulse buy because they believe it to be on sale.Quote:

I use Best Buy as an Amazon showroom :D. On the plus side I was browsing in there this morning and came across that 3 in 1 Assassin's Creed set for $39.99. Gamestop just dropped it to $19.99 (why it is $34.99 used I have no clue) on the web. I asked Miss perky BB clerk if they would match and she said yes :DQuote:

Showed them the Gamestop price and boom. I think clw posted that a BB manager told him Amazon was not a competitor:fp:. Maybe things have changed :dunno:Quote:
