What Your Local Department Store Doesn't Want You To Know (Paperback)

Paperback. Shopping is more than a pastime-it's a lifestyle, a release, and for many, an obsession. In What Your Local Department Store Doesn't Want You to Know, Basheerah Simon pulls back the curtain on the retail world to expose the hidden truths behind bargains, returns, and the endless cycle of spending.Department stores are not going to place signs on clothing that say "SALE: USED CLOTHING." Yet many of the items shoppers purchase may have been tried on countless times, returned, and placed right back on the sales floor. This eye-opening book explores the realities behind the shopping experience and challenges readers to think differently about what they buy and why they buy it.With honesty and insight, Basheerah Simon reveals how marketing, emotions, and consumer habits influence spending decisions.
