Autumn is here and the trees are dropping their leaves.
What is now in many places in gardens, parks and on the streets, a supermarket now has on offer - and the campaign becomes a laugh.
A new season is dawning: in autumn the leaves of the trees turn brightly colored and then fall to the ground.
The colorful leaves are particularly popular with children for handicrafts, and in cities, disposing of them is often a burden.
A supermarket now had
the
sales idea: autumn leaves - at an exorbitant price.
Great Britain - The time has come:
Autumn
is here - and the trees are dropping their leaves again.
It is nice to see again and again when the
colorful autumn leaves
optically herald
the new
season
as soon as the days get a little cooler.
The children are now running through gardens, parks and streets and collecting the brightly colored leaves for
handicrafts
- and
they are also ideal
for
decorating
the apartment, style-conscious people have known that for a long time.
A
British supermarket chain
has now apparently
discovered
the advantages of the annual natural product as a
sales idea
for itself:
“Waitrose”
is currently
offering
small
autumn leaves packages
- and is now receiving a lot of ridicule and scorn.
Customers apparently want to pay money for cut flowers and firewood, but apparently not for what is currently lying on the ground anyway.
Supermarket chain “Waitrose” makes a fool of itself - leaves at exorbitant prices
Because the price that the
supermarket chain “Waitrose”
has remembered for the colorful autumn greeting is
proud
:
The foliage that is tried to market with flowery lines costs
six pounds
.
With the “Autumn Season Foliage” (German: “Seasonal Autumn Leaves”) one can “bring nature into your home” because the bouquet offered reflects the “colors of
autumn
”.
For some
customers of
the
British supermarket chain
, the sales idea is decidedly in pairs.
You should shell out the equivalent of
6.57 euros for a
pile of autumn leaves
?
And then the colorful leaves - this is what
“Waitrose” says
on the packaging - can only be kept for a maximum of five days?
Under #leavesforlaugh the comments
customer Sharon Hanley
the leaves bouquet quite ironic: "Hello
" Waitrose "
, applause that you try a handful of leaves for six pounds to sell your customers." A "autumnal Lacher" calls the action on
more.
Hello @waitrose I applaud you for trying to sell customers a bunch of leaves for £ 6.
You are having an Autumnal laugh #leavesforlaughs pic.twitter.com/uXWIJCIasy

Another
customer
on
is also amused
and makes the
Internet community
an unbeatable offer: “A bag with real leaves?
I can sell you a bag for 10 pence. ”A third
Twitter user
reacts to this
with a sharp guess:“ It looks like money is actually growing on trees. ”While some
Twitter users are
now harvesting leaves in their garden want to sell them, a customer asks herself whether
“Waitrose” is
just
making
a premature
April Fool's joke
.
The seasonal offer makes for laughs -
but it was by no means intended
as a joke by the
supermarket chain
.
A company spokesman told
Sun
,
UK
: “We have seen very strong demand for
autumn leaves
.
Our customers love
to mix
the leaves with their
seasonal flowers
to brighten up their homes. ”
So
next autumn“
Waitrose
”will probably have the
colorful leaves
“ on sale ”again.
