Was in homesense today and the lady in front brought a set of 3 matching boxes with handles. homesense had placed all the boxes inside of each other with price tag on the outside of box. When lady went to counter she was told each box was sold individually and price was on the bottom of the box so couldn’t be seen when looking in the box. The woman stated it wasn’t clear at all that they were sold separately. The sales assistant said very sharply that they always do this to save on space with the shelves that no one else has ever found this confusing and they understand that the boxes are all sold separately. I would have found this confusing too and agreed with the woman AIBU and its common in shops or is homesense.

Have you ever been to a shop before?

Unless it says “3 pack” or they are packaged together, normally with a sticky label, they are sold individually.

Very common knowledge, I would question the common sense of anyone who thought otherwise.
