Well, your real enemy isn't the poor clerk, but Mr. James Cash
Penney (real name) who popularized this pricing strategy in
his stores in 1902. He must have been on to something, because
JC Penney is a very successful department store chain to this
day. I find the malls themselves so annyoing that anything
that happens within the individual stores pales in comparison.
