Hey Guys!,
Yesterday, as part of their
'Easter Treats', Clarks were giving away a free pair of shoes to the first
person to walk into their store and say:
"I'm here to claim my Easter Treats from Clarks. Have I won?"
I was incredibly lucky and at around 1pm, much to my
surprise, no one in my Belfast store had claimed the prize. I was a winner!
Although I tried on a few things the most comfortable, most practical
and as it turns out, one of the most expensive things for me to pick was these
bad boys!
There were a few issues which took away from the experience.
The manager tried to say I had said the phrase wrong, and made it awkward for
me to claim my prize. I had to prove where I had got the phrase from (which is
fair enough) but with no WIFI or 3G signal it was took a while for me to prove.
I ended up sitting for a good half hour looking for a way to get the code
before I even looked at anything (I didn’t want to get something and then have
them take it away from me). Though the other
members of staff were very helpful the manager I dealt with was quite rude and made
me feel like she wanted rid of me as soon as possible. I knew you could pick
shoes OR a bag but the manager only ever offered me a pair of shoes. The less rude manager tried to steer me
towards a less expensive pair of shoes but fortunately I could see what they
were up to and I was having none of it.
Overall though I am absolutely ecstatic, I never win
anything and this was very lucky. They are an expensive pair of shoes (£99.99)
and because they are form Clarks, I know they are amazing quality. Depending on the changeable British weather I
may need them even in the Summer. Thank you Clarks, I really appreciate these.
