I wonder whether American people purchase anything at labelled price.

When I shopped at department stores in the US, I always get some sort of discount without my knowledge. I only knew that when I reviewed my receipt.

What is “today’s price” in the first place?


Macy’s even offers “gaijin discount” with which you can get 10% discount on almost all products regardless it is already discounted. I was excited at the generosity first, but then began to think that this customer service might make both parties, customers and stores, unhappy. Customers might not buy anything at “proper” price but buy unnecessary goods simply because it can be discounted. Meanwhile stores can’t provide “proper” service and knowledgeable shop assistants, and end up with bargain hunters. Or, are American consumers  are immune to price cut and can make right choices regardless of whether the price of a thing can be slashed or not?
