Retail swindle

Ok, the title is a little exaggerated.

But I am annoyed!!

I was at watsons, getting my foundation refill packs, when there's a a tag saying "Up to 50% off for 2nd item", and in fine print, applicable for the same item purchased on the same day.

Fair enough.


There's no clear indication if the 2nd item would be a 50% or lesser, but I thought a 20% would be good enough for me. (Hey, I am not greedy!)

In the end? The discount is 0%!!!

Since when did 0% constitute under "up to XX%"? If this item is not going to be on promotion, at least indicate, together with your fine print, "only for selected merchandise"!

I can accept if I am not eligible for a discount, but hey, dont mislead leh!

Annoyed lor! >_<
