If there's one part of my body that is absolutely enormous, it is my feet. My tootsies. Let me tell you, I got some absolute units at the end of my legs. Each one of my feet actually has their own ZIP Code, so I have to pay taxes on them, unfortunately. And if you think my feet are massive, you should see the size of my socks.
Luckily, DXL has always been there to supply me with some clown shoes that are not only comfortable, but they look good and don't break my bank account. So I tend to have a positive opinion of them. Until my last shopping experience.
I had gotten a coupon in the mail for what seemed like a very generous offer. I don't remember what it is, but it was very good. Enough to get me into the store, which was their goal. The discount was for something like a flat amount off the total purchase, or maybe a percentage discount. Don't really remember but you get my drift I hope.
After trying on a handful of shoes, I found three or four pairs that I was happy with and wanted to buy. I brought them to the front of the store, which was being staffed by a guy i had been chatting with my whole time there. He was very personable and friendly. Good guy. He rang up my order and went to use my coupon. Ladies and gentlemen, this is when the malarkey started to happen.
I had naïvely assumed I would just be able to use the coupon on any shoes in the store. How stupid of me! DXL is a corporation, of course they'll be operating with predatory practices. There was more fine print on that stupid coupon than a contract with the devil. Not ONE of the shoes that I wanted to buy were eligible to be used under that coupon. After reading it, I realized that I had got sent a coupon for a discount for shoes in which probably half the stores inventory did not qualify for. Probably will not be returning to the store with business practices like that. read more
