[Vnbiz] A lesson I learn in America

[Nguyen Hong Nhung]

Dear anh Thang. 

This is a great laugh which makes me think of the 7 new wonders of the world
campaign in VN.

Thanks for sharing,

Dear anh Thang, 

That is an interesting trick that the store plays but can i be considered
misleading and thus illegal to do so?

Best,

Dieu

Dear brothers and sisters,

I use to pick up my child after school activities at a small shopping mall.
One day, I noticed there are two sodas machines placed next to each other.
One has a label :" TODAY, 1$ A BOTTLE ", the other one also has a label "
TOMORROW,1$ FOR 5 BOTTLES". Both show the same drink bottles.   Since I love
special deals, I put a dollar in the TOMORROW vending machine. There is
nothing come out. So I come in to ask the store owner what happens ? He
tells me " can you read . it is not tomorrow yet ". Come back tomorrow.
Tomorrow I come back and ask him how to get my five bottles. He tells me: "
Please read carefully again, it is TOMORROW , not today, please come back
tomorrow" . Now I get it.

I put $1 in the TODAY machine and I got my drink . It did not get a great
deal but a FAIR deal .

I said to myself" Darn, at my age, I still learn  new thing every day "

Cheers,

thang Pham
