I hate to be that guy, but what are the chances this was some accounting quark? Like that was the most they could offer off while still making a decent profit on the service, and it just happened to be the Nazi number?
I’m not denying there’s a lot of white supremacist small business Kulaks in the US, but I think most of them lack the cleverness to be this subtle. There’s a racist mechanic in my town and he doesn’t bother with subtle signaling like that, he just posts a bunch of off brand MAGA signs outside of his business.
I’ve seen a small business where the owner was Chinese add eighty-eight cents to every price, I figured it was just an “eight is a lucky number, especially for money” thing. The fact that there are so many other 8’s here makes me wonder if it’s something like that.
I would honestly find it more if it was JUST 1488 and all the other prices were normal.
I could go both ways with this case. A few months ago I bought some random items from a store and it came to a 14.88 euro total so this number can definitely come randomly but like it’s definitely a bit weird to give exactly a $1488 discount, why not round it up to $1500?
