Discounted vs Discontinued
I used to work at a pet store (not anymore thank god) and I randomly remembered a ridiculous interaction that repeated what more times than it should. If an item in the store was not going to be manufactured anymore, or wouldn’t be sold there the store would mark the last of their stock of that item “Discontinued” so customers would know it wouldn’t come back.
Multiple times, customers would come back to yell at me because their product was not discounted on the receipt.
I would say to them “that product is not discounted. 866
“
they would say “YES IT IS!! I SAW it on that sign!!!”
I would say “can you show me the sign?”
shows me the sign that says “discontinued”
i would then relish greatly saying “ma’am/sir, that sign says “discontinued” that isn’t the same thing as “discounted””
especially after they got an attitude with me about me being stupid and “forgetting their discount”. Never failed to humble them. 😂😂😂 423
