#7: The Black Friday Price Hike Special
Ah yes, the classic “discount” that costs more than the original price. These jeans were once a humble €39.95, but in the spirit of Black Friday, they’ve been “marked down” to €49.99. Truly a deal so bold, it challenges the very concept of math itself.
Somewhere in the back, a manager whispered, “Just slap a red sticker on it—they’ll never notice.” But shoppers always do. This is the kind of sale that makes you double-check every tag, question capitalism, and maybe take up sewing instead. Inflation just got a fashionable new disguise.
