Anyone out there brighter than me?

Question

When I asked my supermarket manager why an item (which shall be nameless for the purpose of my illustration) was priced at £2.99 he said because people expect to pay about that for this nameless item, although it could be sold at a much lower price and still make the company a profit and that's how, for example, we are able to take 50% off at Xmas should sales slump and only dent our profits.

I'd say your supermarket manager is brighter than you, since you had to ask him the question and he knew the answer.

But point taken, we consumers are all being ripped off during the festive season.

Good will to all...
