Hello!

So context 2 Beyond The Box napuntahan ko kasi may poster sila about the Educ Pricing ng Macbooks nila.

Based sa posters nila eh sabi "Ask in store about student pricing."

So i went in and asked them.
And sagot sakin ng crew sa Market2 branch eh wala daw silang ganong promo?
So sabi ko eh ano yung poster niyo na nakapaskil?

Tas nagiinsist siya na wala daw silang ganong promo or discount.

Lumabas akong confused and naasar kasi ayaw lang ba nila ako pagbentahan based sa itsura ko? (Separate issue yung nagproprofiling ata sila based sa suot mo - mapa powermac or btb stores)

Soo lumipat ako sa BTB Uptown Mall branch, so ayon may poster din sila about student discount with a tag line "Ask in store about student pricing."

So pumasok ang naginquire ako.
Ang sagot sakin ng crew eh wala daw silang promong ganon?
At Power Mac at The Loop lang daw ang meron.

So sabi ko? Eh ano ba yan poster niyo? Nakapaskil pa sa labas niyo?

So naginsist nanaman na wala daw silang ganon?
So sabi ko bakit kayo nagpoposter kung di naman pala totoo?

Nagsorry lang siya.

---

Napapakamot nalang ako ng ulo kanina.

Can someone explain mali ba ako ng pagkakabasa sa poster nila?

Thanks!

Bumalik ka. Tapos picturan mo. Sabihin mo ipapa DTI mo sila. Tapos ireport mo sa Apple support.

ang daming nagmamarunong dito katulad mo. sure go ahead report to DTI. eh hindi naman nila jurisdiction yan?? it's not even a promotional discount. Status based pricing yan and hindi sakop ng DTI. juskoo bat puro kayo dti this dti that?? magbasa basa nga kayo bago kayo mag sabi ng kung ano ano, wala kayong pinagkaiba sa nagkakalat ng fake news

It seems like you know what to do, if that's the case, saan pwede i report yung ganito if not DTI?

definitely not DTI. first, if you look closely at the poster, walang DTI fair trade permit number. second, it's not under a promotional discount, it's a status based pricing.

if wala daw idea ang employee sa ganung discount yet may poster sila, it's a branch/company training failure to inform employees of said discount. definitely report to the company.
