Menards Informative - Trying To Purchase A White Christmas Tree Their Last Display One. - White X-Mas Tree
White X-Mas Tree
WYOMING, MICHIGAN -- I wanted to purchase a white x-mas tree and asked a sales lady for help, she said the display model was for sale $99 for the tree and $599 all decorated! I said I would take it undecorated and she went to verify it with manager. She came back and said I had to buy it for $599,! The price tags said $99 or $599...I strongly feel they should have sold it to me for the $99 without the decorations! As a patriotic menber of the American Legion for 30yrs., I have always had a white tree with red, white, and blue decorations on it. I am 80yrs old and can't go from store to store looking for a tree...so now, I don't have one!

I guess they wanted to sell it with the decorations, because what use would they have for them if they removed them from the tree?
They could have sold it without decoration, but they unfortunately are not obligated to.
White Christmas tree's are what we grew up with. I love them. There are other places that sell white tree's and will appreciate your business.

They should have honored the price tag. That's a lot of money for the decorations. No one is going to buy it that way. They'll probably be stuck taking the tree down intact after Christmas.
Hopefully you can get to a Walmart or Target. They probably have white trees at a reasonable price.

I would think it is too early in the season to expect stores to sell their display trees, since taking the ornaments off to sell this one may result in having to redecorate another one by Christmas. I would think that the week prior to Christmas they would be more likely to sell the try without the decorations.

Sounds like they were too lazy to take off the deoorations.

The store could have checked other area stores for the tree and directed you there. If there aren't any others close by, they should have removed the ornaments and sold the tree to you. Unfortunately, not all Menards employees are willing to go the extra step to make the customer happy. If it happens again, ask to speak to the store manager. Most will do what it takes to help you.
