How To Get Into A Fight At Macy's

ADVERTISEMENTS

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was three days thanks to the federal banking holiday, and I took it upon myself to stimulate the economy by going to the mall. I had a mission to purchase some knives. The spouse and I had tried to purchase these same knives at another mall a couple nights ago, and was told by the cashier in Macy's that she couldn't give me the sale price listed on the sign because it wasn't her department. And seeing as how there wasn't anyone in the Housewares department, which is why I was in Children's, I had her cancel the sale and left. Fast forward to yesterday, where I intrepidly went to another Macy's and attempt to purchase the same knives. Once again, only one person working the register, though this time in Housewares. I waited patiently, and when I got to the register I was told the sale price wasn't being honored. When I asked why I wouldn't get the extra 10% off, I was told because it was in small electrics. Now I wasn't buying an electric knife, I was buying good old steel blades. That line of reasoning got me nowhere. I then retorted that if Macy's wasn't going to honor the price, then they should really take the sign down. I was blown off by the cashier. I once again asked to have the sale canceled. At this point, it was just the integrity of the thing that was keeping me from purchasing, and I was hopping mad. I hoofed it to the Manager's Office, ready to give a piece of my mind (albeit it in a civil manner), only to find absolutely no one there. I could have trashed everyone's offices since they were wide open, but not being in the vandalism frame of mind, I left. I fired off an e-mail to corporate off their website, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope. In the meantime, I'll be shopping elsewhere. I'll probably cancel my Macy's card as well. No need to keep it after all this.
