I'd consider the auto industry to be a "baker" industry (for the most part). Ikea's a "baker", GAP is a "baker". A lot of the pre-digital world made pure play baked goods.

Coupon codes on your receipt, planned obsolescence, strategic item placement in store to encourage buying additional or more expensive items, loyalty programs and points, physical marketing mailings, targeted pre-internet advertising, etc.

Careful with fashion. Fashion trends are manipulated to keep the dopamine flowing if and only if you update your wardrobe every season. All the magazines, shows, etc... it's not entirely innocent of the problems we're discussing.
