It always annoys me when I buy something online and right after the transaction, they send me some sort of coupon code that needs to be used in a week. Like, “You just bought some pants and shirts, thank you. Here’s a coupon if you buy some more pants and shirts by Friday.”
I just got what I needed. Why would buy something else?
Or sometimes you just click on a website and they give you a discount code but you need to use it in 24 hours. I can’t get ready to buy it that fast.
Now that I type this, maybe I’m not a typical consumer. It is very unusual for me to make a snap decision about purchasing anything. I usually do some research on the thing, or check different options, or maybe I just want to think about it. Like right now I have a tab with some pumpkin spice syrup that I want to buy. Bob bought me some a few years ago and it was so delicious. I added it to warm milk and it was like a slice of pie. But I haven’t bought it yet. I don’t know why. I’m not always in the mood to type in my credit card. 😂
