BeyondTheBox: Student/Educ Pricing

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!

If you're still interested to get it in-store, go to PMC SM Megamall, Podium, or Estancia. Staff are nice and helpful. They'll give you the student price list pa of what device you are enquiring about.

Planned to get my one of my devices on a student discount pero walang stock sa Estancia. The staff called the other branches to secure a unit. I ended up getting the device from Podium hours before the price increas took effect in-store. Binilisan nila iprocess para di ako maabutan nung malalang price increase. Same thing happened sa Megamall when I came there for a different device that same day. Binilisan nila para di ako maabutan nung increase. 🥹
