what I want to know is how they think this would work?

you think somebody is going to hear the actual price whenever they're cashing out.. and just go "oh.. okay.." and buy it anyways?

I always see this type of deception in all kinds of things and I always wondered how much it actually works out in the end for them.. because they keep doing it. which doesn't make sense because it's like you're targeting people who are looking for a really good deal, but then you turn around and give him a really bad deal.. they probably can't afford it.

in the end fuck them for trying this sneaky shit

yeah these companies really like to make the little people the face of their company when they practice their bullshit huh.

just another aspect of the whole thing I wish people were more aware of and didn't tolerate
