I get extremely annoyed at this 999.999 price list business. Every
damn price tag is in the 99999 class - I mean how dumb do they think
we are. SO this is the ploy I use to get back at these stupid price
tags. I go into a shop to buy something and tell the clerk that I
find 9999 prices offensive and insulting - so I want him to show me
whatever (shirts, tools, etc etc) but if he/she gives any price in
99999 I will walk out and NOT buy anything. So then the fun begins
!!! He/she will struggle to quote $50 instead of $49.99 etc etc. I
allow one mistake but on the second - I look at the number of goodies
I was going to buy....and walk out - to return next day IF I have
seen anything I really want. It is tremendous fun! I continually
fight this insane doohickey and call people idiots when they quote me
in 999999999. Isn't it about time we put a stop to this - As MG
people we should lead the way !!!!
There are houses here that are advertised at $399,999.99 - I kid you not !!!!!!
