I kept two price books. The more expensive was for the customers that wanted to haggle the price. They get me down to the real price and walk away happy. Fortunately it was on an electronic product that I had a regional exclusive.
working at a supermarket as a teen I remember we had some “items” which were not moving and priced 10 cents a can. The manager had me remove the stamped prices and place them all in a grocery cart. When I had finished he made a “Special” sign 2 for 25 cents and taped it to the cart. The cart was empty in a couple hours!
Department stores would advertise “30% off sale” and in print so small you couldn’t read it from the sales floor the sign actually said “30% off suggested retail price”. Compares with my trip to the warehouse club the other day to buy a product on sale last week at $10.12 but on the more recent visit it was under a banner that said “NEW LOW PRICE”: the yellow-tag bargain price was $11.96 and at the grocery store a block away, you could get more than twice as much product for $11.98.

What was your first guess, Baldo?

1.3 times .75 is .98, so the customers will still be getting a small discount

No. A 30% off coup. Michael’s style.
