      And J Crew have outlets.

      I'm glad I'm not in retail or merchandising. It's really hard.

      Think it, be it.

        @Steffen:

        ^ That, with the only Exception that if my Local Dealer when I ask him if he has Sale Next Week and he says No I´ll probably be pissed. Online no one can expect to get those Infos not from IH and especially not from Eastdane, the People who work there are Lemmings, if one of them would give such Infos away, incase he even has them, he would most certanly get fired.

        This has happened to me before and it did bother me, at the time. If the SA’s are aware there will be a promotion the following week and someone asks you about potential upcoming sales, I don’t see an issue in divulging that information. Otherwise, rather than be intentionally deceived, i’d prefer the honest answer outlined by Giles above.

        Meek, mild and dishonest with a special place in Hell.

          i suppose just from personal experience with that fast fashion company where i used to work..

          their role with merchandising is that, they have their priority products which are produced at a greater margin that'll never go into sale, or at the very least the remnants of that season. their usually low in quantity but has a higher price point. and there's stuff where they plan for and receive that are absolutely huge in quantity. when you've received something like that, you immediately know that it'll go into sale without a doubt.

          at the same time, with planning. their reorder point/ replenishment seems off to me and unpredictable. i'm not sure if that's because the australian market is on opposite ends to the rest of the world. but i can only speak for the australian seasons and not european/us seasons

            Personally, if I bought an item full price and it went on sale the next day I wouldn't care and wouldn't contact the retailer asking for a refund/credit.  I paid full price because I thought the thing was worth what I paid.

                          @Seul I’m gonna have to put up or shut up regarding heavy IH gear in the heat. It’s currently 95F here with 70% humidity and I have the 888 xhsib arriving tomorrow.  😉

                            The world is full of d-bags. Took my son to McDonald's yesterday and some dude who looked like he was on steroids was at the counter returning a burger, which I presume had a hair on it, or some such thing. He wanted a new one made for him, which is fair, but then proceeds to tell the cashier, "what are you gonna do for me since i've been inconvenienced? A chocolate shake would be fair. I mean, I'm no cheapskate; i've got $3000 in the bank and $100 cash on me right now."

                            I don't get how some people are so entitled. He says he's not a cheapskate but then asks for a free shake which is the very definition of being a cheapskate. And he takes it out on the cashier who's not making enough money to put up with his crap.  ::)

                              Working at McDonald’s is something every young person should do. It makes you quite driven to do (or not do) whatever is needed to not work there ever again.

                                  That's why I would never move to a big City. You just get more d-bags in industrial quantities
