Reference pricing all the way! Although I'm curious if the Macy's jeans are actually any good. Maybe I should just splurge on the Levi's...

Hmm, reference pricing, of course. Although I do wonder if the manager gets a commission for selling more of the Macy's brand. Just sayin'.

I'm not sure, but it could also be a special-event pricing strategy to attract customers with the lower price.
