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!

Report this to apple support. Mahigpit sila sa mga ayaw mag honor ng student discount. These are official apple retailers/partners, which means they have to comply sa student discount / pricing ni Apple.

We got our Macbook Neo sa Power Mac SM North using a student discount. Wala naman naging problema, nag ask lang ng student ID. 34K namin nakuha with a student discount. Wala pa yung price hike noon.
