I hate shopping for clothes. But I guess I needed some new ones. Usually it’s my parents who buy stuff for me. Or gifts that I get from friends. Or the occasional T-shirt from quizzes and cul-fests….<\/p>\n
Hmm, so yesterday I was deciding what to wear to office, and I came across this long-forgotten envelope filled with gift vouchers – 2000 Rs worth of Wrangler gift vouchers, in denominations of 500, won at IIM-Bangalore, and these were valid even at Hyderabad, at some authorised store at Basheer Bagh. So off I went in the evening.<\/p>\n
Those bloomin’ morons! They make me wait for 15 minutes while they discuss the pros and cons of whether or not the gift vouchers should be accepted or not. Seems that’s a Wrangler “showroom” and not an “outlet”. I very decently point out that the name of the showroom, or outlet, or whatever, is printed at the back of each voucher. Ahem, ahem. “No sir, actually this was issued in January, and this store was a showroom then<\/i>.” OK, I point out the words that say “Offer valid six months from date of purchase”. Some wiseguy decides to phone the Boss who’s hiding out somewhere in Malagasay, because he has to shout over the phone and go “Haan, sir?” “Haan, sir?” five times after every line.<\/p>\n
Finally, the jury comes to a decision. “Sir, actually”, the “phone”y wiseguy starts.(you can almost hear him going “eh heh heh heh” in his mind)”ACtually, each voucher is valid only one<\/i> product. So if you buy something above 500, you need to pay for it in cash.”<\/p>\n
Right then, I decide I am not<\/i> paying anything. Gave the shitheads a hard time while searching for T-Shirts, and T-Shirts that cost precisely Rs. 495 each. Fine, so I lost 20 Rs. overall, but that’s ok. <\/p>\n
Next week, am getting Anil and Dhaaji to go to the same shop with their<\/i> vouchers.<\/p>\n
Morons! Why give out vouchers at all if you don’t want to honour them? And why need to add asinine “conditions” ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
