They got me.

The trickery of that store, they got me!

I didn't read the fine print on Kohl's cash.

I didn't realize that Kohl's cash was NOT like real cash at all.

First, I spent $106 and earned $30 in K cash. ($15 for every $50 spent)

The regional manager who was working the register when I checked out asked if I wanted to

apply for a Kohl's card and save $20 off this purchase.

Normally, I am NOT going to get one. But $20 seemed worth my time of 5 minutes.

After it's all said and done, I only got $15 in K cash.

I asked the guy why, and he said that it took the $20 off before the total. 

I looked at him dumbfounded.

I felt like I was uninformed or even tricked.

I told him right there that I would never have signed up for only $5.

Twenty dollars off my purchase instead of $15 in cash back =$5.

Besides the fact that I could have gotten another $15 dress shirt, 

and gotten another $15 back in K. cash. So basically a free shirt!

I hate gimmicks so bad, and I avoid them as best I can, but Kohl's got me on this one.

Then, I went to get my favorite bra that no one else in town carries. I expected to pay $2 for it.

I cost me $7.

They got me again!

When you use Kohl's cash, it takes the price down to a new price before they give you the

15% off for applying for a Kohl's card.

So, I got 15% off of $9 instead of 15% off $24.

Lame.

Obviously, I only shop at Kohl's a couple of times a year.

Obviously, that stat is not going up any time soon.
