Don't walk around in a bikini in this town

WendyTerry420

I work in database marketing and this woman doesn't understand what she's done. She had a provocative t-shirt sell out in one day. The retailer's predictive models are going to start suggesting more and more of them be sent to the whole area. LOL!

Exactly what I was going to comment. The numbers are now such that there will be even more shirts like these, and they may even begin a radio ad campaign.

This woman obviously knows how retail works. That $500+ return will be a big hit on the store and it could possibly break their sales goals for the month and/or period--costing the company money and the management their bonuses. She knows what she's doing.

LOL @ "return"


They aren't taking this stuff back.

This thread has way too few examples of what may be inappropriate in Utah.

Am disappoint.

This lady would run screaming from my town. (Solana Beach). Bikinis everywhere!

Now that this story has broken in the news, she will NOT be able to return the items. Buying something with the specific intention of returning it later is actually a felony. It's fraud. The company can now not only reject the return, but prosecute if they so choose.

I'm waiting to see what happens in 60 days.

If it were me, I'd fill the entire store with every single one of the t-shirts in the state, on the day she comes to return them.

Although I applaud the effort, I think her energies would be better spent in raising her son to respect women rather than to shield his sensitive eyes. I mean, a mother can only do so much sheltering. At some point, it will be up to her 18 year old son to determine how to act on those images, and form an adult opinion of his own. She can't be next to him all the time.

Plus (tah-dah) they have more shirts in the back and bare chested mannequins are dirty.

She can, it worked for Norman Bates' mom.

Does she have any idea how the laws of supply and demand work? If this PacSun store reports that they sold over $500 in one day of this specific T-shirt, they will be ordering more of these T-shirts, and "corporate" will be making the employees display these T-shirts even more.

What an idiot!

probably won't as they had a big $500 + sale earlier on in the month/period...........

I hope the store has a policy where they only refund on faulty goods and she gets store credit :bigsmile:

I guarantee you that $500 of sales will hardly register in a PacSun's monthly revenue.

Precisely.

While, as a parent, I understand wanting to shield your child from the big, bad, nasty world, I also realize that you also have to give them the skills, knowledge and strength to make up their own minds. And we have to trust them to make up their own minds when the time comes. "Shielding" an 18 year od ADULT son, is, IMO, taking to the extreme, and showing him that buying up all the shirts & returning them later (like has been said) is a CRIME! and is just plain wrong.

Utah is just a different place. Takes a special mindset to live there.

What would have been cool is if it were a legal marijuana store and having weed in the display case.

Seems like the older and the more out of shape a person is the more they complain about other people showing their bodies off.

Are you referring to me ? Lol

If those are your real legs than clearly not.

YES.

Actually, is that shirt available in my size? I think I may need one now...

This. I don't know why people are saying this is a big trasaction that will effect management. Maybe at a dollar tree would $500 be a big deal but not an expensive clothing store.

If her son is old enough to join the military he's already got his opinions and/or view of women established, it's a little late to be taking a stance on this and trying to shield him from a t shirt is ridiculous.

Maybe not for PacSun as a whole but for that particular store it will be a hit. And if she returns in a different month it will matter in sales for that store. PacSun can easily take the hit, but on a store level it will sting. I've been in retail a long LONG time. A $500 return will make a difference. Someone said that PacSun can refuse the return. If they were smart they would refuse it and that woman will be stuck with $500 worth of tshirts she hates. Now THAT'S funny :laugh:

Ok so it's nice of her to try to 'protect' everyone but honestly....theres the internet...nuff said

headofphat

This is the exact same reason I buy up all the porn I see on the shelves. Disgusting!


:bigsmile:

^^^ So you're the guy who beats me to the store all the time?

Well to be honest there is way too much free stuff on the internet for me to constitute buying it. haha

They have a $500 unusual sale they wouldn't normally have had. That's then offset by a $500 unusual return. Net impact to sales : $0. It's not like this is a regular customer, contributing to standard sales figures, deciding they don't like the quality of the goods and returning them. On the other hand, the manager is taking a $500 hit on their shrink, and may not make shrink target for the month/quarter, depending on target and usual figures.

They only real sales damage done here is potential loss of sales of those t-shirts during the period that they weren't on the shelf or in the window, but any manager that didn't immediately have the empty gaps filled is a lazy idiot that deserves to get hosed.

In short - even if they allow the return, it's not going to be a really big deal.

And since we're stating credentials: I was a retail manager in the past, along with plenty of time on the sales floor.
