Stores make more money this way why would they stop?
Layaway is better than using credit cards.
Yeah that is my point they pay some of it off then others come through and buy it at a discount it helps move inventory that otherwise would not be moved at all or they would have taken a big loss to sale.Many people don’t even get their stuff off layaway tho ...

Because you’re using your own money and not paying back something later. Instant gratification is not always a good thing.Many people don’t even get their stuff off layaway tho ...
How?
You don’t even get the item and you still have to pay up front ... even rent-a-center will let you take shyt home![]()
Yeah they charge fees that you cannot get back if I remember correctly so they make more money even if you cannot complete the purchase.Never knew how that worked ... thought they just reshelved the item and sold it again at regular price .
I was a kid in the 90s era so can someone explain to me just what layaway is?

You clearly aren't Black
Or never been Poor
YOU PAY 2-5 TIMES THE RETAIL PRICE WITH RENTACENTER. HOW IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION?
Nah I'm black, but I was 10 in 98 and I wasn't in grown folk affairs. Either shyt was bought or it wasn't. I didn't ask Mom no questions for fear of getting smacked.
Wasn't poor though![]()

But you get to take it home .
That’s the game .
With layaway you don’t get shyt and have to put down a percentage of the price ...and keep paying and pay fees when you don’t complete the layaway plan...
As @Rawtid said: Instant Gratification that’ll get you fukked up credit -OR- Never getting the item out of lawaway and losing 20 dollars or so...
I honestly think the layaway wave was on lifesupport going into the 2000s

WHO PUTS SOMETHING IN THE LAYAWAY WITH THE INTENTION TO NOT GET IT OUT?
