Those retail workers unboxing returns all day know which “doorbuster deal” is actually last year’s model with a new price tag.
They know when the real markdowns hit – hint: it’s usually not Black Friday anymore.
They’ve seen every shopping hack attempted and know which ones actually work versus which ones just annoy everyone.
They can tell you if that “limited time offer” will be back next week at the same price.
We grew up getting actual human advice before buying anything. That skill didn’t expire.
Next time you’re shopping, just ask a question.
The person who deals with this stuff daily might save you from your own worst impulses.
