I was led to wonder recently, as I wandered through a department store with a few friends of mine, just what goes through a man's head when he writes "LOW LOW PRICE" on a sticker in hopes of making extra sales. I never trust a man who repeats something like that. That's too much of a good thing.
What about just the low price? If your LOW LOW PRICE is the price of the holiday season, then what were your other prices? Just normal low? I'd imagine, though, that they'd be higher than the LOW LOW PRICE. And if your low price is higher than the current one, that makes it your high price. Which means I've been getting screwed on high-priced crap the rest of the year. (Or I would be if I actually bought any of the garbage) And if that's your high price, what about the stuff that's not on sale? It's priced higher than the high price stuff! Maybe they should call those the HIGH HIGH PRICES, and advertise them as a challenge for those who can afford it. "Only a real man will pay these prices." And just show the Marlboro Man having sex with a supermodel while flying a jet and holding the product in one hand.
Hell, maybe I should go into the business of advertising.

Well the funny thing is, is that I was thinking about this while I was working at Macy's today. They mark everything down in the morning and then jack the prices up later because the "early morning sale" ended. What I find funny is that it really shows how much places jack up their prices and how much they can actually mark them down. What would be better is if we set up a barter system. Trade one item for another. That would be more efficient and cost a lot less.
