A Consumer-Related Ponderance During Lunch

[gnomi]

Here's the scenario: you go into a store and pick an item off a rack. The rack has a large sign that says "Sale: $29.99." In small print, the sign says "For items orignally marked $50." None of the items on the rack have an original price of $50. In fact, all of them are original price $80, and at the register they come up at a price of $49.99.

So... should you be paying $29.99 or $49.99?
