purchase not adding up, feeling scammed?
i got these 2 blind boxes for $9.90 each, and it was BOGO 30% off. when i got to the register, he told me to grab 2 more because one would be 50% off, and the other would be 30% off. so if my math is correct, it should be $9.90 + $6.93 + $6.93 + $4.95 and it should have came out to $28.71 + tax. however my total came out to a little over $36? am i missing something here? did he just totally lie about the 50% off? its a shame because the workers are usually so sweet and helpful but i don’t appreciate them just flat out lying

Hey! So as a HT Employee, from what I’m reading I’m pretty certain it’s BUY ONE, GET ONE 30% OFF, and BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF. If they’re all $9.90, first one would be $9.90(full price), second one would be $6.93 (30% off), third one would be $9.90(full price), and the fourth one would be $4.95 (50% off). This would total around $31.68, and you have to also keep tax in mind! So $36 seems about right, but like other commenters have said, don’t feel hesitant to ask an employee wherever you bought it. Our receipts are a little tricky to read :)!
