What Kind Of Operation Are They Running?

I was in Millets an hour ago looking for some hiking boots, i was asking the guy that worked there the prices, as i could see no prices. He seemed to make prices up from the top of his head? So i was buying boots for €75 as he said they were.

I'm up at the tills and realize that i only have €70, a girl beside him is whispering "Give it to him for €70..." He takes the €70, and is wondering why i am still standing there. Because i am looking for a receipt, he then says panicking "I cant get a receipt because the transaction has already gone through, But i can give them to you for €50 without the receipt"

So i just took them for €50 without the receipt, They must be ripping people off and keeping the extra profit for themselves! I checked up the real price for the boots and they work out at around €55.

What the hell is a millet? Must be one of those mad dublin things. :pac:

Quick google tells me it's even worse. From the brits. Should have bargained harder really. Or confused hum by saying €65 please.
