Just make a killing at a 2 for 1 sale. Why am I not happy?

[rocktivity]

There's a Kohl's department store down the road from my job, which has laid many of my paychecks to waste (I'd really like to have one those home arrest-type bracelets which would alert my bank if I go with 100 feet of one). I was in the market for some shirts, and one brand was having a 2-for-1 promotion. Cool! Then I notice that another brand of shirt was having the same promotion. Then I saw that you could buy two pairs of slacks or two jackets and get one free.

I also needed a belt, which required me to walk to the other side of the store. At least half of ALL the merchandise was buy one or two, get one free! Ordinarily, I would have had an orgasm on the spot, but it was actually kind of creepy. Then I realized why: It was the new FALL items that were on sale--it wasn't the tail end of a summer clearance! Is our economy THAT bad that retailers have to take a bullet on what should be their fastest-moving merchandise already? What the Cheney are they going to do when the holidays come and consumers don't have the optimism of Kerry going into the White House? (Sure enough, the belts were buy one get one free, too.)
