Unfortunately, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Fendi are still running the prank and still didn’t refund people.

Lol Payless is genius. If this didn't prove something. Idk what will. Just stop praising things cause of the pricetag. Good quality is good quality.

"You got to be kidding me" *is worried her whole career and judgment is ruined*

[DarkkiraraGT]

Shouldn’t have given a refund. They don’t deserve a refund. These rich ppl are fake af!

[jd-fmuk]

I never expected a corporation to be capable of such positive provocation.

[ryani]

Who ever came up with this idea deserves a lot of money from the company. JUST PURE GENIUS

I love it when people can't tell cheap material from expensive ones. Just proves that you don't have to spend $500 on fucking accessories.

[rustybones]

So Payless business model has been wrong all along. They could have been making 1800% more profit all these years.

[Garapetsa]

They made their point it's all about marketing. Buy something at garage sale, repackaged, bam you can sell it to a sucker big time.

[Theblackhippieh]

Payless needs to open up a luxury brand called Paymore 😂

[Psysalis]

"Oh these shoes are amazing! Wait what they're Payless?! I want a refund!"

[SamDustin]

These are the same people that would say that splashing paint onto a canvas is called art and would drop a million dollars to have it.

Just goes to show how many ppl are materialistic and stuck on something being name brand, since they all loved the shoes when they thought were designer footwear. Even the quality of the shoe was considered great by one guy, Im sure that all changed once they were told it was Payless because someone who would pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for shoes will likely nvr shop at Payless. What they shouldve done was do this exact same prank & refund these ppl their money. But instead of letting them keep shoes that they will more than likely throw in the trash & nvr wear, donate the shoes to homeless shelters or give them to ppl who cant afford even a $10 pair of shoes instead of giving them for free to someone who could afford to buy whatever they desire.

Plot twist: Ross Dress For Less is really behind Supreme.

[GhosstRyder]

It’s UNBELIEVABLE how materialistic and shallow people are!! This past summer I purchased a GORGEOUS pair of sandals that were designed by Christian Serriano and every time I wore them I received compliments. People for some reason couldn’t believe they were from Payless. I have shopped there for years and will continue to do so. Labels don’t impress me only a persons character does.

[Mrlittlelegz]

These people live for what people think. That’s not living.

[Mark-cizv]

if only they continued this they wouldnt have filed for bankruptcy.

[yari]

Proof that rich people will buy anything as long as it's "supposly" Fancy. 🤣🤣

[rowni]

I cant help but cringe at the people describing what they thought was a "Palessi" shoe like its a diamond ring 😂😂😂

[TheTuellfamily]

We live in such a superficial time where people are more concerned with image than actual substance. They overpay for material items because of the status it seemingly gives them. It's sad.
