New boots

I went into a store because I had a $10 off regular price coupon and needed some boots to go with a velvet dress for New Year's Eve. I found the perfect pair, and in the right size too. The signs around the section said "All boots on sale" and another sign said "50% off display table". The boots had a red sale tag on them. Naturally I think they half the sticker price, even though the new sale price is not on them.

Sales girl rings them up and they are regular price. She asks if I still want them. I know I am a pussy and should have put up a fight and walked away from the deceptive advertising. But I worked in a shoe store once where the signs say "up to" in smaller letters after the prominent "50% off" part of the signs. That means regular price through 50% off. I should have looked at the signs a little closer, but used my coupon instead. I really wanted the boots. Holiday sales are not always as great as customers think they are. I hope the boots are worth the $95 I paid for them. Post later. Bye!
