8% off sale: Pictures in Beijing
My friend and I saw this really cool store with awesome Chinese style items at the local shopping center, I had a good laugh when I saw this sale flyer touting "8% off," run don't walk what a sale!!
I don't really enjoy negotiation when buying things. I always get tired real fast hahaha. Maybe this is a fixed price store - but the sale amount is still miserable.
Hahahahaha. Doesn't sound like much of a bargain.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking not, especially in a country where everything seems to be negotiable. ;)

DeleteI just arrived back home after a week in Beijing. It seems that discount is the other way. So 30% discount is said as 7折 (off) .
DeleteHence the sign really says 92% discount! They must have been Google translating or Wechat translate and just paste.
