Next time, read what you sign, its there in black and white, but the salesperson should have explained the details.

I am not sure why layaway is coming back. Simply set the money aside at home or a bank, save up and then make the purchase. I can understand maybe wanting to lock in a sale price, but stores run sales everyday. Another sale will be along shortly. I think the main issue is that people don't have control of their money and can hold on to it.

Whats your point?

Useing a credit card is lay a way too, you just get the things first and you pay monthly!

I see you like to post, 494 huh?

Theres noting to sign when you order online

Thanks
