A shopping roundup promotes Gap Factory's Labor Day sale, advertised at up to 70 percent off plus an extra 15 percent sitewide, running through September 7.
The piece highlights leggings, a blouse and jeans, each priced against a listed 'originally' figure, with reviewer quotes pulled from the retailer's own product pages.
No independent pricing history or discount verification appears anywhere in the piece; the deal's size is asserted, not checked.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A store telling you its own sale is a can't-miss event is not information, it's a flyer with better production values. The 'originally' price is the one number in the whole piece nobody outside the store ever gets to see charged.
