Nazi Walmart is celebrating the Ho-Ho-Holocaust this year
Seriously, there's no way they didn't choose that shit on purpose.

They do odd incremental pricing with a lot of things. I don't know that it's nefarious so much as it is nefarious. They know $14.99 is read by consumers as $15. $14.98 is a ratfucked $14.99. By the 0.80s we see it as $14.xx and it's perceptibly cheaper.

At a few of my retail jobs, the .xx system was shorthand for pricing types: .95-open box, .90-clearance, .97-manager's sale, whatever. Doubles are just easy on the eyes, too.

Shit should have read one comment farther before posting this exact same thing.

i was looking for hidden signs in the pictures and didnt realise what the price was

Same. I was wondering if I was just too tired to see shit, but nope it's gotta be the numerological dweeb's symbology

Nah Walmart just prices things at .88 instead of .99 because psychology or whatever. They're not any more fascist than other capitalists.
-
Walmart's had half the shit in store at that sus price since I was in highschool, rumor back then Walton himself or one of his heirs had neonazi ties of some sort.
-
Take it down to $14.53
-
14.88 on pricing is actually a common discount on a normal original price. One possible one is 15% off 17.50 - there are some others. If it's not some weirdo little chud store it's probably just that.
-
I have been seeing these prices at gets-the-wallmart for years, it's weird af
-
Could be some kind of algorithmic pricing, where some machine decides "We noticed people will pay $14.88 more than any other price in the $10-$20 range" and assigns that value by default. Just a self-reinforcing cycle of stupid consumerism.
-
Yea I can see this being an extension of some data driven bullshit more than a dog whistle.
"People think 14.99 is less than 15. Wait now people recognize that as the same let's go to 14.89 then people will see its not just a cent off. Wait the data says people reaction to the number 9 is an extension of the original trick better go down to 14.88."
Not saying it's definitive but seems more likely than trying to appeal to the festive fascist demographic.

Someone's order rang up as that today at work. I used to chuckle at people buying an item or tipping to avoid $6.66, but in an instance like this I'd also be buying a muffin.
-
This reminds me of the time that a coworker of mine at the deli weighed something for a customer and it came out to 6.66 pounds.
The customer was a priest.

I highly doubt walmart decided to officially endorse Hitler. That would be a baffling decision for them
