Shenanigans!!
is my district the only one pushing the new 2 soda, 1 popcorn bucket for $4.99 promotion? i want to know because i have a serious problem with it: i'm not in the business to jip customers.
it's been selling fairly easy, most likely because the $2.22 soda display has been taken down and replaced with the new promotion. we have to keep track of them like presales/rewards so, of course, i do my job and try to sell as much as i can. but after selling 7 on my own last night, i suddenly realized i had jipped customers each time. sodas still come up in the system at 2 for $2.22. popcorn buckets are $2.49 each. together, they are 4.71 (no tax on food in my city). the promotion adds a random 28 cents to that total. so i made Blockbuster an extra $1.96 off of a promotion that adds no worth last night. if i were to sell that much every shift i worked last week, that would be nearly $8. if every CSR at my store were to do the same, the total would be roughly $50 a week. i wonder what Blockbuster plans to do with the extra $50 coming in every week. new uniforms maybe? |

You can't factor in a discounted price of sodas into that. The value of those goods would really be
Code:
2 x 1.49 + 2.49 --------- 5.47 |

Well, it's not a problem if you consider the sodas to sell at their single price, even though the savings then is just a few cents. Also, I've never known the computer to add money to a promotion. But I'll look into this today. Whether or not it's wrong depends on if we still have any 2/2.22 signage up. If we don't, then that promotion isn't valid and the computer is doing it as a mistake.

Okay, we don't have any 2/$2.22 signage up, so technically you do save money with the deal. It's not wrong, it's just cheap and lame, which is no different than the average BB promotion.

Unless the price of popcorn has gone up, customers save a whole $.19!

sure, at the original 1.49 singular pricing, there is an actual discount.
but if you scan 2 sodas first and hit total, the discounted price rings up @ 2.22 still. if you hit total again and add a popcorn bucket, the total becomes $4.71. i had this naturally occur when customers purchased 2 sodas, at which i suggested the promotion for an extra popcorn, hitting below the actual 4.99 amount. |

Solution: Don't do that.
