PM because of new GST? funny story

[minib26]

my GF is a manager at a Danier leather store in the GTA, and told me a funny story that made me think of RFD.

someone came into the store with a receipt for a 200$ leather jacket bought in mid-December. he was asking for a price-match because if he had bought the jacket now, he would save 1% less due to the reduced GST.

we're not talking a big-ticket item such as a car, or a piece of property.. we're takling a 200$ jacket. this dude wanted 2$ back.

so my GF told him the only way to do it was for him to bring in the jacket, and the tag still had to be on it, and to return it, and re-buy it. sure enough, the guy left, spent who knows how much on gas + time, and came back and returned it and re-bought it.. to save 2$..

i know we're all trying to save a buck, but this seems a bit extreme.

thoughts?

wow are you serious!?!? thats pretty extreme man and all for only $2... can't be an rfder or else like you said he would have factored in the gas + time lol oh man xD

[ygtgxi]

lol these are prime examples of people that will spend a dollar to save a penny

[aimfox]

wow. $2 :P

awesome, enough to buy a drink in dollar store

[MrDisco]

you are all missing the bigger picture here.

Can your gf get us discounts??

[nolimtzel]

well considering if everybody did this. how much of an impact it would have against the store. but people dont because stores make it hard and people like you ridicule those who attempt to save money.

wow. $2 :P

Correction, *TWO* drinks! lmao

That guy must've felt like he accomplished something by saving $2. He made the effort, so whatever makes him happy...

Maybe he didn't want that $2 to go to the stupid government

RFD needs to open a rehab for deal addicts. This is not healthy.

[DaVibe]

That's not RFD, that's just stup!dity.
Obviously the person is not doing the math ... nor is there a "principle" involved here ... you bought the jacket early.
If you would have waited until January for the 1% = $2 difference, maybe they would not have your size and the colour, nor would the jacket be in the same condition.

My time is more valuable than that.

Maybe he didn't want that $2 to go to the stupid government

and spend alot more on gas, which the government tax like 34% from the actual price? LMAO
