$79.99

Setting: Kohl's Department Store
Offense: Wrong Sale Sign
I would like to know how hard of a job it is to hang up the cream colored sale signs where they mother fucking belong! I'm sure it's not as easy as it sounds. Matching thousands of products to particular discounts and specials. I agree to cut a certain amount of slack. However, when the bitch at the counter rips into me because there is an incorrect sign and I refuse to pay the regular price for my ceramic flat iron, I draw the line. I needed a new straightener and had seen they were on sale in the add. So I proceed to go look at them. I had selected a Bed Head Ionic Ceramic 2" Flat Iron. Extremely nice hot pink model, was regularly $79.99. That is an outrageous sum of money, however I have a strong belief that you get what you pay for. There was a sign above the display that stated "All Electronic Hair Products: 15 - 50%". If you have ever shopped at Kohl's you know that sometimes on the sale signs it lists particular items followed by their new sale price. (For those people who can't roughly figure out what 15% of said item is. All I have to say is duh.) This particular sign had a general list of items all on the display, there were also several items not on the sign that were displayed. My coveted flat iron included. I get up to the register assuming that the product is 15% off because it is a more expensive item therefore will be a smaller percentage off. It rings up $79.99. I calmly say to the woman that the sign stated that All Electronic Hair Products were on sale. She flips out on me, accuses me of incorrectly reading the sign and then calls back to the dept. As we wait for them to call back with the price she rings out 3 other customers. Did I mention that it was Wednesday afternoon? (Which is Senior Day, kill me now.) They call back and say that not all the items are on sale. Excuse me? I'm not paying full price. The fucking sign says all! I proceed to get angry. Very angry. Long story short I got the flat iron for 15% off because I put the fear of god in that bitchy ass cashier. Bitch. I win.
