Macy's, you are not fooling anybody with the one-day-only sales ads you run in our newspaper... Why?
Because you run them EVERY day. There is no such thing as a one-day-only sale that runs every single day... duh.
I guess you're hoping that nobody will notice. But I did and it annoys me.
How dumb do you think the average consumer is?
I'm willing to admit that I fell for your $10 off coupon... I was too trusting to read the fine print, and when I tried to purchase a Lacoste sweater, thinking, "Wow, I get ten dollars off!" I was quickly informed by your sales clerk that the sweater was not ten dollars off because the coupon didn't apply with certain brands.
In fact, every brand of clothing that I would have bought, any shoe, or anything made with cashmere would not be ten dollars off. That Ed Hardy tee? Not discountable, those Uggs I wanted for my cold feet? No way. The Lacoste sweater I was dying to get? Uh huh. Well what about that new perfume that I wanted to get as a present for my sister? Don't think so.
As if that's not sneaky enough (Macy's you sneaky snake, you) the coupon ALSO couldn't be used on anything else that was already on sale (this was at the one-day-only sale).
So basically, your ten dollar coupon was completely worthless to me during my shopping quest...
Unless I wanted to buy a pair of full-priced generic socks made of synthetic wool.
Woooo hooo.
