But lets not just narrrow it down to just mall jewelry stores. It happens across the board in all types of retailers, whether in or out of the mall. My disclaimer: I work in a mall jewe;ry store, called Levi and Sons. Even though we are having sale signs up, they truly are very good deals. I think in most cases, people shou;d know where to go and trust someone wneh they buy jewelry. I know for a fact, that I personally give fair prices to my customers. I believe that if you give a good deal to someone, they will come back and buy again. And they will probably bring in their friends and family as a referrals. Thank you Its true that there are alot of false advertising going on. But lets not just narrrow it down to just mall jewelry stores.

The rug stores crack me up sometimes. Those are ussually small shops, but how can big chains do this sneaky crap? Is there one evil person or do all 1000 employees get together and decide how to con customers? I know some people can't work where they want, but I am starting get mad at the tools that work service for these companies! Somehow they always can get your money back, if you ask 5 times, so they know you weren't fairly dealt with. Third anniversary-fire sale! The rug stores crack me up sometimes.

I learned the hard way that the Zales Outlet has no return policy, as per the line of 10 pt text on my 22 inches of receipt. And, I was told, there was a sign warning me... behind the register on the other side of the store. I'm still pretty steamed about it. Yes, I should have read every word of the receipt before signing it. A slightly expensive life lesson. :( One other thing to look for with outlets, specifically Zales Outlet is the return policy.

I guess there must be a little space left on the lots after all...

I have been noticing that there are some stores that claim to go out of business in X days, and "Everything Must Go". You know what, after X days, they are still there, and the clearance sale price was never a good price. There are so many unwise shoppers out there. I walked out of those stores with 40% off entire store without picking any items which are simply too pricey, and yet the store is more than half empty. Lots of people think going-out-of-business sale must be good, but in fact, it is not. Talk about bogus on-sale.

They do the exact same thing, everything is on sale every day of every week. I think it just reaches the point where you disregard the "sale." If the reason why you are buying something is to get a deal you probably shouldn't be buying it. Ever been to Kohls? They do the exact same thing, everything is on sale every day of every week.
