Don't really understand the purpose of announcing the sale and then delaying it until a certain date. I know it's done a lot, especially by larger department stores, but the logic of it escapes me. If the decision to sell at a certain discounted price has been made, why not starting the sale right away? Instead of distributing the workload evenly (assuming that the sale is not a gimmick and the higher sales volume is realistically expected), the store creates a bottleneck and frustration for both the customers and the staff.
