Stocktake sales are a fucken rort.

Well. 'Bout time I posted again. Today, I went shopping for some couch covers. $200 each at DJ's (geez.... thats half the cost of a new couch), so it was off to good old K-mart, Target and Big W.

The fun begins.

This is the time of the year when stores such as these hold big sales. Stocktake sales mainly. Lucky for me, Target had 30% off. Surprise surprise though, as with all these sales, there is only ever one of the size you want and one of each colour on the shelf.

This is intentional. It must be. K-mart had a similar sale and yes, you guessed it, just one of each size and colour available. Whenever there is a sale, I am sure these bastards remove all but one of each item, knowing full well that if someone needs two, they will be forced to come back later, once the sale has ended and buy the second matching item at full price.

The ONLY store that had more than one of each item, was Big W. No sale there today.

I experienced a similar thing once when shopping for T shirts.... they were about $30 each or buy two for $40. Various sizes and colours available... great until you start looking closer. All the "S" size were same colour. All the "M" a different colour. Yep. If your size happened to be "L", you could buy 2 blue shirts! If it were small, you could buy two green. Pricks.

K-mart, Target, and Big W (only because if you had a sale, you would pull the same stunt)... FUCK YOU!
