Don't Lie to Us, People!

We are sick to death of stores over-promising and under-delivering so-called holiday deals.

We love a good bargain, but nothing pisses us off more than when a
store promises us something they can't deliver. Case in point: On Black
Friday, ridiculous deals were advertised, but even if you arrived at
the store by 7 a.m., those $200 laptops and $700 plasma TVs were sold
out. That's because hundreds of other people were crazy enough to camp
out in front of these places for 72 hours—even
if it meant eating Thanksgiving leftovers delivered to them by
relatives on the cold, hard sidewalk. Listen, retailers: When you
advertise Wii availability, and we show up five minutes after the store
opens, we expect to get a freaking Wii. What we don't want to hear are
those two dreaded words: "Sold out!" Look, we're Moms—we don't have
time for this nonsense! If you don't have a Wii, quit telling us you do
(or else reimburse us for the babysitter we booked to sleep over). The only real way to stop the madness is to buy online—if they're out of stock, they'll at least say so. What are your holiday shopping horror stories? Do tell. |
