I thought I’d send along an interesting find from when I visited a Linens ‘N Things (the one going through bankruptcy), they had some Rowenta Irons marked UP by $10… and then had a $10 LNT gift card promotion sign right next to them. It’s no wonder they’re going bankrupt! I think they need to be a little more savvy than this. I mean, are consumers so stupid that they won’t notice that the $10 LNT gift card promotion is on a produce with a handwritten price that’s $10 higher than retail?

We think this is evidence that Linens ‘N Things has just given up. They’re not even trying anymore. How sad.
