I was just thinking -- if there was a way to somehow be able to offer instantaneous discounts on "damaged" products, supermarkets could probably avoid throwing away a lot of "damaged" goods.

But then I realized people would just start damaging them themselves, in order to get the discount.

I've seen a lot of supermarkets doing just that. They simply place a sticker with new price to avoid the problem you described.
