Some retailers in the area may be using deceptive pricing tactics, taking advantage of shoppers. This can result in customers paying more than they should for items. An investigation found a shirt at Macy's with a discount tag claiming 40% off the original price of $149, but the actual original price appeared to be lower.

The calculated discount price was $65, yet the shirt was listed at $89. Further details on this issue can be found through InvestigateTV, which initially reported on the practice of inflating original prices to create fake discounts.
