How Stores Trick You Into Buying More Things 

Elliott [Surname retracted] hey they hire all sorts of behaviour experts and stuff I wouldn't be too hard on yourself lol

I always translate such figures into $5 and £300. That way I can do the mental arithmetic quicker. But some people get very uptight - sometimes even accusing me of not knowing what the real price is!

Money ruins it

LOL. I just came down here to mention he got the story wrong and saw this!

Norman Oro yeah if you can afford a product and the company does a little nudging to get you to notice it, that’s fine but to have the power to make people think they are getting a good deal or change the value of the product is just like the diamond industry making diamonds scarce to create a fake need and the wedding industry to overprice everything because it’s become a need to have extravagant weddings. Yes, we as society should not be so trusting but it’s really fucked up how intentional they want to screw us over while fronting that it’s a deal. It’s manipulative and deceitful. Ultimately, whether we are actually manipulated by them or not doesn’t make it less fucked up. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for your opinion and good job on getting a corporate job, from one Asian to another, dude 🤗

Eric Jonas, I didn't ask a question in my original RU-vid post, so (with respect) you're not really answering anything. However, I respect and understand your point of view and opinions. Personally, I just don't consider shining a light on a can of soup or making the listing of a particular entree prominent on a menu as deceitful. At some point, people have to be responsible for their own actions.

So, being spiritually degenerate and environmentally dangerous means you "win?" No thanks.

The $20 card is only of more value if you want to buy $20 worth of items.

SikaoNet that does make sense. Usually, people aren’t just buying one product, though. Even if you don’t use amazon for another year or two, it’s likely you will use it again. Buying things on amazon is, for most of us, inevitable, so it actually saves money to get the 20. Yes, if you know for sure that you will only spend 6 dollars for the rest of your life on amazon, you’re right. But for most people, if not all people who have access to amazon, it’s better to get the 20 dollar one in the long run.

Um..... no. The customer that has the 20$ card will have money leftover.

I have been trying to show that on my website ☮
