Jack & Jones does a rare feat: Billings suprised with higher than advertised discounts

Hi folks,

My friend got a pleasant surprise when Jack and Jones ( R City Mall, Ghatkoper, Mumbai ) gave 50% discount during billing as against 30% advertised on the label during his visit on July 13, 2013.

We present the bill (Transaction id 150102013131), the price tag ( Article No 5711646080275) and discount tag of 30% at the end of this post.

The garment ERIK Original G with M.R.P of Rs 4995 was given for Rs2479 (No VAT). A clear 50% discount against advertised 30%.

Well ! Quite an innovative way to flatter the customer. Or this was some error !

Now the weird insight ! Generally, the billing guys seldom calculate exact discounts in their minds while customers usually do that religiously (It's their hard earned money).

At the end of the day, it may be some labeling or punching mistake in software. Blind following of computer systems has thrown large instances of weird errors. The observant customers like my friend gains or atleast avoid getting a weird loosing deal.

Enjoy the 'SALE' season and be prepared for some weird surprises like this.
