Dave feels the Caps Lock key somehow makes an inane rant less so.
I was on the fence about purchasing a $300 item. This extra 20% off nearly made me click buy. But seeing it would only be $20 returns the money to my pocket. Too bad.
I don’t like how you said that.
Am I supposed to feel bad?
Yes. Not only bad… devastated. And disappointed… like you just got your BoC.
While I can relate. It’s really on the customer to fully read the terms and conditions of the sale before buying. Every retailer I know will always put the eye catching part in big caps, but you should follow the advice “there’s always a catch” that way you’ve never caught by surprise. And woot actually makes it nice and easy for you to read.
It is just mind-boggling to me that a shopping site says “Here’s an EXTRA discount for you.”
And then folks complain.
Now if you were adding 20% to the end price, I might understand frustrations.
But not having to spend as much, and STILL get complaints?
The underground base in Antarctica, on the other side of the wall, at the edge of the flat earth, is powered by yoinked browser history.
I imagine you saying this in this context
They’re not kidding when they say it doesn’t show up on the order until the last second. But it does show up!

Take notes, @davejlives!
"woot!" ............ Customer
" Here’s 20% off " - but I wanted 21% off
" How about a BOGO? " - Why can’t I have a BOGT?
" Here’s 100% off " - Why do I have to pay the taxes?
" Here’s a box of crap " - You sent me crap.
I usually would agree, but I find this misleading. Long time Wooter here myself.
Still love woot. Don’t love the word games.
@davejlives does the 20% also take place during the deals during @ThunderThighs HH?
