And to add to this, I think it was JC Penny that called this "80% OFF" sale out and stopped doing that. The result, they came very close to Chapter 11. They ended up reversing that policy just to stay in business.

This is just one example of how really stupid the Average American is. The past election also just proved how dumb the average person is in the US.

JC Penney's problems went considerably further than whether they did or did not run an "80% OFF" sale.

True, but the ending of "80% off" style sales was a very visible problem for them.
