No, I don’t find it condescending. It’s just another sales tactic.
~The more someone needs to brag about how wonderful, special, successful, wealthy or important they are, the greater the likelihood that it isn't true. ~
No, I don't consider an offer of 6 Easy Pays condescending. I do feel left out from Q's celebration though. I want a discount for paying for my purchase in full.
It's Marketing. It's capitalism. It's advertising. No different that sales on Veterans Day or Fourth of July. Just another opportunity to offer discounts or special offers. We all see it for what it is so no one is twisting our arms. The intention is to sell.
