Marshall's Please Inform Your Staff To Not Stretch The Truth When Asked A ? While Waiting Outside To Enter The Store. Not Good To Practice Stretched Truth In These Times.

I ventured out to TJ Maxx first yesterday in search of  new scents of shower gel and lotions. I did not go there because there was a line to get into that store. Not worth it to me. So I head to Marshall's because they carry similar items. I think there was only 1 or 2 people ahead of me waiting and I was ok with that. I had the opportunity to ask a question of the employee doing line control and counting the people entering the store. I was polite and asked if I was going to see increased prices because the store was shut so long or good sale prices. I was told that almost all of the store was sale70% discount prices. I would have appreciated the honest truth at that point.
I did not find that to be the case at all. There were the reduced tickets on items but no 70%. I just saw regular discounted prices on items. I know that because I shop there enough to know how they price reduce items with their red tickets. There were also regular priced ticket items. Correction, I did see 75% off of Easter items as you waited in line to check out. That was about it so the statement made outside was not anywhere close to being accurate. Please do not deceive people in these times in which we are walking through now. There may be people shopping with limited or fixed incomes and they are trusting what you are sharing with them when asked questions. I myself am a bargain hunter, I really am. I did purchase a few items. Two new scented body creams and a shower gel. All 3 are Korres brand. Pure Cotton scented body butter for only $4.00; Red Berries dual hyaluronic multi-action body soufflé $4.50; and Fig shower gel $3.00. I could not pass up the only bottle of OPI nail polish which is named Coca Cola, I did pay regular price for that $3.99. Now you know with a name like that it would be a pretty nice red color right. I can envision that as a happy color to use when doing a pedicure.
I was glad to see the store back open again but do not mislead shoppers into thinking they were going to find something that they were not going to find when they enter the store. Honesty is truly the best policy.
Well guess what? Of the 4 items purchased one was actually @ 70% off. I peeled back labels to see what the original prices were. I know I would have not paid Marshall's price of $12.99 for a body butter but it was much more a deal at @ $4.00. Still, I did not see the majority of the store with prices reflecting 70% off.
