Okay this is the last of my scavenger day rants.
When I was working in retail in a mall, a photography shop there had a contest on to win a free photo portrait. There were no stipulations. I entered and I won.
Everything was great. They treated me like royalty and took a beautiful posed picture of me.
Things fell apart when I went to pick up my photo.
They tried to pressure me to buy multi-packages of my photo for over a hundred dollars, and were angry with me because I refused. I earned minimum wage at my job, a hundred bucks was at least two plus days of work. And what the heck use would I have for a thousand pictures of myself of various sizes?
They practically threw my photo at me and kicked me out of their store.
Naturally, I told people to not go there. They did a great job of my picture, I still have it, but they blew future sales.
Don’t have contests and giveaways and coupons and the like if you’re going to be a bitch about honouring them.
