- Bingo.
- You just hit the underlying theory for such stores.
-
- If you carefully went in and, having priced-shopped, bought EXACTLY
- what you needed, they'd be closing their doors. But because "It is Such
- A Bargain" you buy things you don't need.
-
- Which is not say any such store is a Bad Idea. But it is important to
- realise that MBA's were there scheming on how best to manipulate you
- long before the shelves were stocked...
