Who decided on this discount?

Never mind that most places have Halloween decorations at least 50% off by now, but what possessed them to choose 31% off??

@kiltedpadre That is pretty random!

I am sure there is some dumb reason from the financial department that works in their favor for it....

@kiltedpadre It's pretty obvious. It's so they could be 69% of the original price.

@rallydarkstrike “You see sir, everyone else puts things at 30% off. If we do 31% they’ll see it as a huge bargain!”

Honestly, that sounds exactly like the kind of logic they'd use.....the same reason things are $4.99 instead of $5.00

It's a Halloween themed discount, because it's on the 31st.

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far down for this

It kinda makes sense to me. Any time I see a weird number for something I feel like some brain cells were used and there might be a valid reason for it. Round numbers I tend to go "meh, maybe"
