<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 4518750, member: 51&quot;]Haven&#039;t heard about the GW $1.99 rule, maybe hasn&#039;t arrived here yet.&nbsp; I can tell you that they get things like 8oz jelly jars without lids, and I could see them slapping $1.99 per jar on those (when a dozen with brand new unused lids retails for around $12.)&nbsp; Apparently seemed to <i>someone </i>that this was a good idea.... &quot;Let&#039;s not bother with anything less than $1.99....&quot;&nbsp; but actually means that low end products will sit and sit unsold, taking up room on the shelves, back room filling up. Must have been some kind of stupid corporate decision. </p><p><br /></p><p>Our GW used to have policy that when a color tag had been out for a month, the that color went to 99 cents no matter what the original price was.&nbsp; The GW sold SO much during the 99 cent week, and what a great way to get rid of stagnant stuff!&nbsp; They canned that policy about 3 years ago at my local store.&nbsp; Now they have to use precious staff time, people go around and pull the month old color tag, and then all of it gets packed and shipped off--or maybe dumped, but if you are going to dump it, why not try to get at least 99 cents first?&nbsp; Impossible to believe that some of these decisions are cost effective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
