I saw something really stupid today.

By dementedhut · December 14, 2005

As I was walking around the mall trying to find my brother who wasn't in a place he said he would be, I walked by a fye store. That's when I saw a window display with Xbox 360 boxes with a sign that says "We don't have any Xbox 360s".

...

Think about that.

...

If you don't have any units in........ WHY ARE YOU DISPLAYING BOXES OF IT RIGHT BELOW THE SIGN? Someone's either too lazy to put them away, or they love getting people excited and see their utter disappointment when they get closer and read the sign.

FYE is evil.

That's also a terrible idea for business--half the trouble is getting people into your store (hence sales), and even if you don't have 360s, they're sure to see some things in the corner of their eye when they come in to ask...

I work in EB, and we leave up the boxes because we're told to leave them up even if we don't have it. We aren't even allowed to post up a sign saying we don't have something, because to someone, somewhere, it's a better idea to have people come in excited that they finally found what they were looking for and then piss on their dreams once they talk to us.
