yes props for making each and every one of those customers feel like suckers, brilliant marketing move that's sure to pay off handsomely over the long term . . . although something tells me t-shirt hell's customers don't have a problem with being made to feel like suckers.
I didn't say I respected them. The whole company is about treating everything as a joke. They aren't selling expensive software licenses here. They aren't fishing for respect. They want the "wow" factor. And they are good at getting it.
I understand their deal, I just don't think manipulating your customers into making a purchase is a good longterm strategy, even if some of the customers get the joke . . . time will tell I guess.
Also, props usually means proper recognition/respect . . .

A lot of Microsoft's customers feel like suckers but most keep paying for upgrades and buying more. It works.
