      JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.

        The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.
