Arbitrary:
Based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
subject to individual will or judgment
I would say it was arbitrary. Besides the sale being over, is there a system for the percentage discount? No, the number is arbitrary because it is made up. Sure you can argue that it was nice to offer a discount after the fact, but the number is still based on the whim of the sales associate. Had I gotten another sales associate, he may have honored the discount, or not given one at all. The number is arbitrary. I also want to make it clear this was the essence of my argument, of which I'm not truly angry or insulted, but in the back of my mind when they gave me an offer I thought (oh please) and politely declined. Moving on!
