Belk at Phipps Plaza Holds Crappy 0% Off Sale

Belk at Phipps Plaza Holds Crappy 0% Off Sale

Saleprice

According to the manufacturer’s factory-printed tag, these men’s button-down dress shirts are an “every day value” at Belk for just $24.97 each. Today, during Belk’s 50% off sale, you’d think you could pick one up for about $12.50, right?

Wrong. Because some time before the 50% sale started, Belk employees used pricing guns to double the price of the shirts to fifty bucks. So now, today’s 50% off sale price … is yesterday’s every day value price.

They’re not bad shirts, even at $24.97. But after discovering the scam, I just didn’t feel good about giving Belk my money anymore … so I gave them 100% off of what I had planned to spend today and took my business elsewhere.

  • I would have done the same thing…but only after having brought said scam to the attention of someone in charge. Not that it really matters, but I would feel a little less "taken." Maybe it's just that the older I get the less s#!& I'm willing to tolerate!
