Working behind the scenes with retail pricing (not Walmart) I can say this is 100% how it works.

Also have been given a sheet listing all of my department’s products that were below a specific profit margin. Told that we had a sale coming in 2 weeks so make sure to raise prices on those before then so that I didn’t have a drop in my overall department sales. If the customers noticed and asked, we were to inform them the ‘sale’ was to offset the price hike that just happened because we were looking out for them.

Penny Racers were the shit.

I still have the one I got in probably '82/83. Black semi tractor with a rotating spoiler instead of a trailer. That thing got a lifetime of use and abuse and it still works great.

I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.

Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because “all thieves deserve to die”.

I worked for a low income apartment complex that started doing AirBnB. It’s already a 2-3 year waiting list to get a rent controlled low income apartment but they were taking units off the market because they could make more money renting them by the night.

They are called ducks because they duck.
