I just read a business article about Gap splitting up. The article referred to Old Navy as a "Sleepy Relic." It reminded me of a visit to this Old Navy we had a few weeks ago. We hadn't been in an Old Navy in years. However, we were having some difficulty finding beach attire for an upcoming vacation since it was wintertime. Anyway, we popped in Old Navy and were in luck. Lots of shorts for my wife and me. I picked out some outfits. She found herself some shorts and summer dresses. Signs everywhere indicated just about everything was on sale. We go to check out. The lines were long and slow. During check out, after hearing their pitch for a credit card, I pointed out that all my buy one get one shorts were not ringing up on sale. In fact, nothing was. The clerk told us that none of it was on sale. I pointed out the sign on the table where I got my shorts that says ALL shorts on sale. She said the sale was only the stuff on the left of the table. I showed her it was the same stuff on the left and right. She said, "Oh, I didn't even know we got shorts in." Okay, same thing for my wife. Her dresses are not on sale despite a sign on the rack where she took them. The clerk informed her that it was only stuff on the back of the rack that was on sale and not the front. Who would know that?? The sign didn't specify anything like that at all. The same stuff was on the front and back of the rack. Whatever. We soon remembered why we don't shop there regularly. I, personally, do not want to shop at a place where they use trickery to get you to put stuff in your cart. If you do shop there, don't pay full price for anything! It all ends up on the clearance rack eventually. read more
