Facebook user Anna Chai shared that she went to Bata to buy a pair of insoles for her shoes and the sales person asked her if she was a member.
She duly replied that she wasn’t, and the sales person then tried to sell the membership to her, citing discounts on her birthday month.
Chai then told the saleswoman that this month was her birthday month, and asked if she joins now, can she get the discount?
She saleswoman then told her that the discount only applies 1 year after she joins.
Here is what she said
I went to Northpoint Bata to get a pair of insole.
The sales person asked me whether I am Bata member or not. I replied no. And I ask her do I need to pay and what is the benefit of the membership,
she replied that will get some discount on my birthday month… So I replied this month is my birthday month, if I joined now, can I get a discount if I purchase anything and she replied only after 1 year then I can enjoy the discount….Â
What a great joke!
Netizens’ comments
- Next time join any membership have to be 1 month before your birthday so you confirm can enjoy your birthday benefits etc.
- Then 1 year later, i come buy bata shoe. Simple as that
- Next year you come, the membership expired. Need to reapply and use for the following year
