Kohl's must have had SALE signs on every shelf and display. Supermarket prices are all over the lot. Raising prices on tariff goods sharply to try to make up the sluggishness on other items. And other very slow moving items are on sale. No one knows what to do so they're trying everything, anything, to bring in cash. Don't want to get caught with all that inventory.
