Little Growing Sprouts: $10 off Myers voucher

I don't think I've written here on my Myers visit last month.

So, Myers is a big posh retail outlet here. They had this 25% off sale on luggage last month. Eric was quite excited as he had been eyeing this Samsonite mobile office luggage to replace my clinic box for a few months.

We went there after work one day, and realised they had this $10 off when you spend more than $100 in store in one transactions for that day. They had this special broadcast all over the store's PA. Woohoo!

But, we were met with this super duper RUDE Chinese middle age salesman at the luggage department. Normally, Asian sales ppl are quite friendly, especially in big retail like Myers. But oh boy, he is such an exception.

1: Curious about the $10 off special broadcast, we asked if the luggage purchase will be counted, as they had quite a long list of exceptions. He said it is included. (Yay!)

2: We show him the floor stock item which we wanted, and brought it to him to bring us a new one. He did not even look up and see which one we were referring to, let along check it in the system, and just bluntly said: It's the last one. (Lazy man!)

3: Ok.... So if it is really the last one, we have to check properly first then, because it could be there for eons n abused donoe how by ppl already. So we checked inside n outside. I remembered from past experience, the last item usually have further discount.

But... He did not give. =_=

4: Fine, so paid n all, hold on, where is the $10 discount?!

Man, still need us to 'remind' him of our entitlement. Even though it was blaring through the PA system every 2mins. ( think we stupid ah?)

5: looking at the 'voucher' it got us confused as it looked just like a Postcard! The $10 discount came as a 'postcard' size card, which says you can only use it from 2 weeks later till end of the month. Then at the back, there were a big whole list of exclusions. Already not happy with his service, we feel that he may be just randomly handed us a 'card' as a con. So we asked nicely, "how do we use it?"

And you know what was his reply?

"Can't you read?"

WTF!!

Seriously, I feel like throwing the whole suitcase in his face and tell him, I WANT A REFUND AND COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU.

Just thinking about it still makes my blood boil.

Anyhow, on Sunday the last day to use the voucher, we went into Myers again, thinking of what we can buy with the $10 voucher. It has a very small clause, saying that we can only use it with purchase of $10 n over. It can only be seen with a magnifying glass, together with a long list of exclusion items. We saw the same rude Chinese salesman, this time at another department. Not wanting to make our trip an angry one again, we avoided the area.

So we browse around. Not wanting to spend more than a gold coin ($1/$2).

And this is what we bought!
