don't worry, they're probably jacking prices before hand.

Then you can take them to court and make them lose their business liscence, because it is illegal to raise prices and then advertise the original price as a "sale".
It is also illegal to advertise an item on sale if that price is the standard price within a certain period both before and after the "sale" date.


However, it is more likely that they will keep their current prices on the most-likely to be bought items, and only put sales on items that suck (read: are outdated; headed for clearance; jut flat out don't sell), so people are more likely to clear the shelves of those items.

Along the same note, most of the progressive price protections we enjoy are localized. As a for instance, Arizona law does not require issuance of rain checks whereas other states do for advertisted items. It wouldn't surprise me if some states had already replealed some of those protections with all the F$*%*!@ lobbyists running arround.
