    Classic Kohl’s strategy, not sure if they did it first, but its the first place I saw it used in early 2000s.

      A handful of years back, JC Penney made a huge deal about stopping this practice in their stores, where everything is on “sale” all the time. Sales plummeted even though the actual product prices stayed the same. They immediately reversed course.

      Hard to blame them. Human brains are weird.
