Today is my birthday. I’m a Platinum member at Ulta so I went to get my 2 Free Birthday gifts. First, there are little Displays that extended the check out line. Merchandise I can purchase in small quantities. I stood to wait and thought about this brilliant way to get me to go to the store and ultimately spend money. I’ve never stepped on a Bear trap before but I’ve seen films on it and that is what it felt like.
I asked about my birthday gifts, since I get two and it would have been this tiny little free sample of perfume; the kind you normally get if you want a free sample. Sounds sort of bad but I asked the check out girl if she thought this was a birthday worthy gift?
I ended up with some good smelling lotion, a sample of moisturizer and some night serum in a sample container. It is a lesson that cannot continue. The free samples I’m getting on my birthday to get me in the stores. It’s simply a Bear trap.
