    I wouldn't have thought so - why would they want to do themselves out of the money?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    All boards are the same, they have a 'New Thread' button at the top and the bottom of the threads list.

    Ask them! If they can't won't tell you, just wait a couple of weeks and see.
  • The floor staff - sorry, "Associates" - may not even know the answer. As Pun said, ask.

    Staff generally don't know whats being reduced until the sale brief arrives a few days before going live.
