Broken: Deceptive signage
Sep 20, 2007
This sign, spotted in LA, is not offering a dozen roses for four bucks. The fine print, invisible to people whizzing by in cars, says it's really $4.99 for a half dozen roses. Broken!
Like the old "FREE (peanuts with your) BEER" sign.
That's only 40% of the value you thought you were getting!
It's the same way with gasoline. Unleaded for $2.63 is actually $2.639. I don't think this sign is broken, just an advertising gimmick used by retail everywhere to draw in customers.
