Archived People's ideas of beauty products

This $10 off $40 of beauty products always gets me laughing as to our guest's ideas of beauty. "No Ma'am, $65 worth of Dr Scholls foot spray does not count as beauty items." In my head I'm thinking about their feet and the stink they produce. I've had other guests with strange ideas of what a beauty products is. Anyone with some funny situations?

It says beauty and personal care. It's rather misleading imo that personal care items like tampons and foot spray do not count.

My store has a sign right in front of the tampons. Besides, aren't tampons used for personal, really personal, care???

Yes, plus not leaking on the floor would make you feel more beautiful, in most cases.

Exactly!

I had a guest try to convince me that a U.S.-European outlet converter is a "beauty item" because she was going to plug her curling iron into it.

I would hate to be around someone who needed 65 worth of foot spray...when they took their shoes off . Just saying lol

I find "personal care" very confusing. Wouldn't everything such as Tylenol, laxatives, foot care, incontinence pads, allergy medication, wart removers, and weight loss pills be part of personal care? I find it very misleading and guests are quick to make a comparison between them. I wish I could get my hands on the actual list of what counts as a personal care item.

Medicine is not personal care. At all. That is "Health aids" I would not let that one slide. Foot spray is a health aid..

Personal care is, I think, the feminine hygeine aisle, and/or the cotton aisle (swabs,balls,pads) even though every time they do this sale, not all of them are included.

One time I had a sign for the gift card offer, it said includes tampons/feminine right on the list. Lady bought the 30 dollars worth of tampons/pads and the gift card didn't prompt. The sign was right in front of the tampons. A tm wasn't wrong for putting it up... what can you do?

 

[commiecorvus]

So personal care doesn't include condoms?
I mean you would think...

 

[Patty]

Gotta take care of business, plus you know safe sex and all... Im just saying...

If Target is going to quibble over what they want to call "personal care" or "health" for the sake of a $10 Off sale does that mean they finally figured out letting guests decide what they want to pay is not such a good idea?

 

[sher]

This reminds me of the "all apparel" sales during winter that didn't include outerwear among other things lol. People were so angry with me that week

Another reason Target's sales are slumping. Confusing ads.
Target fails at so many retail 101 issues.

Right now we have a sale that is buy two get a $5 gc on select Colgate, crest, and Listerine items. We also have a free with purchase when you buy a certain colgate toothbrush for select Colgate toothpastes. We also have other Colgate and Crest toothpastes on sale. We also have the buy $40 of personal care and get a free giftcard. In one four foot section we literally have four different sales going on. Confusing is an understatement.

i had a guest buying two things, a foot thing which i forget the name of but was probably included in the deal but was $39.99, and some bows for a little girl. if the other thing was a penny more the coupon would have probably worked but i called the gsa over and they gave her a gift card anyway.
