I used to work at Best Buy on the Geeksquad and often times when one of us said that we were going to go talk to a manager to sell an item at cost we really were (trying to find) and then talking to a manager, considering we had so little power. So please don't always think that when the retail employees say they're trying to get you a better deal that they're actually trying to screw you over.

Reminds me of an article about tactics used in supermarkets; some stores vary the size of flooring tiles, as the noise of the tiles helps determine how fast a customer moves through an aisle.
