[quote name='Wshakspear'][quote name='MaxBiaggi3']If Best Buy is any indication, any number of retailers could be hostile toward shoppers that specifically target just their clearance merchandise. Retailers want you to pay full price, so educated shoppers are not their ideal customers. Getting an award from educated consumers may mean they're too generous in their clearance discounts, and they may rethink such discounts in the future if CAG flaunts it before them.[/quote]
Or they can think of it as people who clear out thier glut of crap and keep thier stores clean (Target). Also, by being consistant with deals, they also end up with new customers who will buy other stuff while cleaning out the clearance areas/deals (Gamerush, Target)[/quote]
I think both of you are right to some extent. It's really going to depend on the company itself. Best Buy has already deemed us "devil" customers. I don't think they'll appreciate an award from the devil. On the other hand, TRU may thank us for taking some of that hideous crap off of their hands.
