This morning, the California-based retailer announced a second topical sale. In honor of President Obama’s reelection, American Apparel is offering 30% off all their American Flag styles for one week. You might disagree, but leggings discounts are just not how I believe people should commemorate the democratic process. Personal preference. Just seems really frivolous and opportunistic.
But! If American Apparel CEO Dov Charney really wants to hold sales to help me mark the moments which are significant to my life, here’s what he could offer that wouldn’t piss me off:
- 20% off all Sleepwear when I make myself a delicious breakfast of farro salad with a fried egg on top.
- Buy one, get one free Unisex Cotton Berets when I book a ticket to Europe.
- Free gift of The Circle Scarf in a color of my choice when I buy a Unisex Long Wool Coat within twelve hours of the first snow.
- Free shipping on any eyeglass frames when I finish a really good book and loan it to a friend.
