Sigh. (lemmy.world)

Spotted this in a store today and promptly put my shit that I didn't need back on the shelf and walked out.

Edit: it has been pointed out this sign is most likely ironic, in line with the companies schtick. I would counter that while that may be true, behind every good joke is a little bit of the truth. They mean this unironically also.

I don't understand, is it like a pre-emptive argument against the people who complain about shit and try to play the "I'm a good customer, you should appease me" card? Or are they literally just saying "Buy more shit"?

I've been to Ollies. They had Nerf Longshots Icons on sale for $20 NIB, which sell on ebay for $50+ used. Otherwise, it was like a big dollar store.
