I had to go twice to be sure. You never want to go to the dark side unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure.
So I have been to this Concepts a few times. The last time I went I left thinking I paid more than I should have. I didn't think much of it but after my last purchase I am sure.
I go to Concepts because they have a HUGE selection of OPI and Essie polish - always on sale. But this particular location (the one under the Royal Bank) never gives it to you. The argument can OBVIOUSLY be made that I should have spoken up both times. My rebuttal is that it speaks to their business ethic, not my non-confrontational nature. Why? Because the other Concepts always, on their own accord, ensures the discounts advertised are, in fact, applied.
This Concepts doesn't. I gave them a free pass the first time they did it.
This was the second. I will longer go there and for the rest of you: If you want the full advertised discounted price be prepared to speak up. There are two - the arbitrary discount they offer and an additional 5% off for cash purchases.
It's only a few cents, maybe not even a dollar, but it's just bad business if you ask me.
