This Is Why You Went Bust, You Know

I went to the Big City (well, Canterbury) this afternoon, and one of the things that I needed to do was buy some wrapping paper, ribbons, and gift tags.
Ok, no problem: into Clinton's Cards I went. Found some suitable wrapping paper. Looked at but didn't like any of their ribbons - not surprising. Looked for tags to match the paper. Looked some more. In the end, I went over to the counter and asked where they were. The guy rummaged under the counter and brought out a cardboard box with a heap of random gift tags in it and invited me to have a look for something suitable. Apparently, presumably since the change of ownership, that's how they do it, now. He agreed that it was bloody stupid. I'm sure that making sure that your customers can't find gift tags and, even if they do, only have a random mis-matched selection to choose from is a super way to ensure that you don't sell any, and so justify not giving them wall space.
Then I went to the craft shop and bought ribbon, and decided I'd just have to make some gift tags.
As I was walking to the waxing salon, I passed a little tiny card and gift shop, the back wall of which was made up of a neatly colour-coordinated rainbow of paper, ribbons (both tasteful and not) and tags. Sigh. At least I got some tags in the end. |
