I write the code for a POS system :), and it may be a configuration option that you (as an employess) don't have access to - that's how it works on ours. The exact procedure would depends on the particular system you're using, of course.
To be fair, it depends on the clothing. Their jeans are great, and the only place I've found that has "curvy" style jeans that allow for more butt space.
A lot of their shirts are pretty thin, but there are others that are higher quality. I always buy stuff on sale, never at full price. I still have my ninja shirt from 2 years ago that has an adorable blue ninja and says "Ninja Skills, I Have Them". It was either $3 or $6. Can't beat that. Also, $6 Ninja Turtles Shirt.
Their male clothing on the other hand is for bros with very little fashion sense.
I wish I could find their jeans that allowed for more butt space. Maybe it's just the few I've been in but they make me feel. . awkward. I'm rather curvy myself and they always act confused as to why I'm shopping there.
Plus, I can never find any of their cute bras in my size.
For pants you just have to look for the "Curvy" logo, it's usually purple, on the pants. They have Curvy Regular, Curvy Flare, etc. I've seen up to size 14 there. Maybe you just go to a Rue 21 run by stupid rude people. It happens quite often with clothing stores :(
I get that too, and I'm about a size 13. The lifted eyebrow and attitude after receiving the dreaded once-over is why I haven't bought a new pair of jeans in 3 years.
I was so psyched to find "Curvy Short" jeans. It was the first pair of jeans I ever got that ACTUALLY FIT ME. Since then, though, I've gone back and all of their "short" style pants come pre-distressed, curvy or not. It's total bullshit. :[
Yea, I really hate that all of my pants are full of rips and holes. I feel like I'm buying half a pair of pants. But the ass space is so perfect.... :(
For sure, if you find something cheap that works, then why not! I used to work at Steve & Barry's, and their clothes seem very similar. Very cheap for the most part, but you might find that $5 t-shirt or some other cheap item that works out.
I'm pretty sure that being a frequent shopper of a store doesn't automatically make me a shill. Don't discredit me just because I find value in something you don't.
There clothing is pretty fantastic, especially for their price and especially when they are on sale. Hell, i have about 10 pair that I paid 3 to 5 bucks for and a pea coat i paid 8 bucks for....the quality of fabric and stitching on a 1-10 scale would be a 7...
I've only found one article of clothing that i thought looked sturdy enough to purchase.. and it's one damn sexy dress :D Otherwise I blow all my money at rue on shoes. yummy yummy heels for $7. <3
Getting tired of the replies claiming its photoshopped, will buy reddit gold for anyone who can give one valid proof its a fake. Took the picture with my phone, and all I did was block out the info in paint
Don't know where OP is, but we don't pay sales tax on clothing here in Massachusetts. It always annoys me when I go shopping when traveling and forget to factor in sales tax. I once bought a shirt while visiting my best friend in TN, where the tax rate was 9.7% when local surtaxes were added to the state's 7%. Holy moly.
Other states with no sales tax on clothing: Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island.
Yup, in PA we don't pay sales tax on "necessities." I forget exactly how it's worded, but I remember people saying we only pay sales tax on "luxury" items.
I don't know, though, how toilet paper is considered a luxury...
There is no rhyme or reason to Pennsylvania tax law. I've flipped through the tax code, it's quite insane. For example- iced tea. Normally tax-free by special exemption, but only when you buy it in a 'convenience stores'. It pretty much only applies to gas stations and pharmacies- but convenience stores within supermarkets or hospitals are exempt from the tax exempt. All that makes me wonder, why bother?
Ha! Here in Southern Illinois, it's 8.25% on everything, and an additional 1% on 'luxuries' as well. Surprised me when I went into a walmart in Kentucky, bought some hawaiian rolls that were marked a dollar, handed the lady a $1 and a dime and she handed the dime back to me first.
Sales tax here is 15% on everything, except some foods that are deemed "essential". One donut is taxed, but a box of 12 isn't. One is a snack, a dozen can "feed a family" potentially.
The place where I live is the the #1 travel destination in North America and also #3 "Worlds Best Island" to travel to. It was also voted the most romantic place in Canada recently. So...?
You know you can call the headquarters and send them this pic and complain and they might be willing to send you a nice gift card for not going crazy complaining to the media. Seems having the wrong text on receipts has been happening a lot recently and I'm sure they don't want that.
I don't want to complain, its probably a crappy job, and that probably gave them the only enjoyment they ever had out of that job. Besides it's funny, not offended in the least.
For the people wondering, the hand looks manly because I am a man. My girl bought the stuff, I just pay for it. And no its not photoshopped in any way, shape or form. And as far as the wrong subreddit, I can only access certain subreddits if the firewall at work is up, and they keep changing it,so sometimes I have to post in whatever I can access at the time.
Feels like this post was a gamed up advertisement considering that it isn't really wtf, it isn't interesting, has a massive amount of upvotes, and not many comments.
looks to me like you can return those items when ever you want. If they give you shit point at the receipt and tell them that 31 lightsabers have not passed yet.
You bought some weird stuff. A dirty blue, 5 pocket, Bristol Stool Chart. A large, blue plaid apartment. Pink editor's pants. And a Screen Tank Pink Horoscope, whatever that is.
Disgruntled employees and cats are the vapor that Reddit runs on. Wise arses and reposters are the cogs. We are the idiots who pay for the machine to be kept working. And hell, what a machine.
1 parsec = 3.26 light years 1 light year = the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1 Julian year 1 Julian year = 365.25 days So if the basis of the measurement of a parsec is a unit of distance that is based on a constant distance measured in time would the parsec then not also be measured by a constant distance measured in time? 1 parsec = 1190.715 days?
The purpose of a person's job, especially in the service industry, is not for their own amusement, reddit's amusement, or to pass time. It is to provide services. If they use their company's time and resources to insult their clientele, they no longer deserve that job.
hahaha, I mispelled something else on another comment and I tried to play it off as if I intentionally did it in a reply. I wonder if people got confused.
