Hi all,
Was in Scotch Hall today and popped into New Look. Saw a cute top for £18 but it was €28!!! I asked the manager why there was such a huge difference between the Sterling and Euro price and she gave me the usual story about prices being set by the UK and that they have nothing to do with it.
She then offered me a 10% discount on the spot if I wanted to buy it. I said I would rather drive to Newry and get it there.
Our of curiosity I asked if many people complain about the conversion rates and she said not many do.
I don’t get it. We all moan and groan to each other but not to the shops who are overcharging us!!
If more of us actually made a point of asking for a manager and questioning the pricing maybe something would get done about it and then we wouldn’t have to drive up north for a fair price.
Just a thought….
Siobhan.
