Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

In our sister site's column Department Store Dispatch, our anonymous confessor lets us in on six lies sales associates tell during sale season. Two of our favorites (that we knew were lies!) are "'It's gonna stretch!' or, alternatively: 'It'll shrink in the wash!'" and "You can't return that here." For more clues on how not to get duped, click through to read the rest of the story. [Racked NY]
