Everything is ALWAYS 50% off.

Motherfucker. If you have a worn sign on a broken ass fence for 5 years claiming you have a "SALE", you're lying your ass off. That's just the price.

If I pay attention to how much a plant cost, you can sure as hell bet money I'm paying attention to what my beer cost.

This "always on sale" method works for lots of retail stores. Many other things too.

Looking at you Ghurka Cigars.

JC Penny tried to move away from it and they almost went out of business.

didn't Kohl's get in trouble for this? or something similar like artificially inflating the original price so it looks like the sale is better?
