[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 6146871, member: 51"]I have a story about leaving a price tag on. There used to be a high end consignment store where I live (since closed) and I never really got on that well with the owner. She was kind of high strung and hard on her employees, chewing employees out for small things ("Don't put that there, put that THERE!!") yelling while customers were in the store, etc. Really bothered me. Otherwise it was a well put together store and they did a solid business. And occasionally I got a deal or two on thing they missed, so I wanted to maintain good standing both as buyer and seller. But one time the owner's wrath turned to me. She had listed a consignment I brought in for way too low a price in my opinion, and I asked her about it. She pretty much lost it, nearly yelling at me how she was "better at knowing what things sell for" and maybe she was, but I really took offense at[I] how she talked to me as a customer[/I], and I called her out on it. So relations became frosty. A few weeks after frosty-gate, I dropped off a set of three framed pictures, and guess what. I accidentally left a SAVERS tag on one. She called me at home, and of course she had an excellent point, that they couldn't be selling things from thrift stores -- I think what she meant to say was that they couldn't be s[U]elling things with thrift store tags[/U], since I often saw thrift pieces I'd seen in the thrifts for sale over there. I think she felt bad about frosty-gate, so she actually was just kind of calling with an FYI, "no items from thrift stores". Yes, remove the tag. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
