When a company raises prices by a large percentage, then declares a sale on the same items for a smaller percentage, giving the impression of big savings but in reality pocketing higher profits than usual. References Little House on the Prairie episode "Harriet's Happenings" (1978) in which the Mrs. Oleson raises the price of her goods 50% but advertises a 30% discount. "We'll make a 20% profit!"

Refers to a “total care and satisfaction” practice whereby da company’s employees bribe customers wif da “ultimate favor” if they will buy said establishment’s products and/or otherwise do business wif said vendor.
Good luck on asking da luscious looker behind da counter of an adult-products store about “sales and cervix” --- just because they do indeed sell dildos and love-dolls doesn’t mean dat da employees themselves will actually provide you wif “da real thing”.

"Hey, would y'all do me a favor and help repair all this damage to my roof and windows?"
"No, sorry. I was kinda planning on a Mardi Gras Clearance Sale before all the good bead necklaces get taken or thrown away"
