Great commercial and easily relatable.

Just yesterday I was looking for shirts at a top3 US retailer and encountered something I'd never seen before:

  - there were six rows (shelfs) and about 7-8 columns
  - there was a maybe 14x10" "70% OFF" sign at eye level
  - HOWEVER, there were two qualities/brands contained in the cells
  - one brand had the clearance 70% off marked on their tags
  - the other brand DID NOT and was marked full price
  - the clearance and full price cells were randomly placed
  
So the display resembled this simplified matrix:

  [FULL][sale][FULL]
  [sale][FULL][FULL]
  [FULL][sale][sale]
I had already carted four shirt designs before realizing three of them weren't on sale. Tricky bastards. ;)
