Page "Variety store" Paragraph 11

In economic terms, the pricing strategy of variety stores is inefficient as some items may actually be sold elsewhere at a lower price.

However, this is offset by the efficiencies of a single-price structure ; consumers accept potentially overpriced items.

The pricing inefficiency becomes unacceptable at higher price points.

Thus, there are no " 100-dollar stores " where all items sell for $ 100 ; consumers expect to pay the correct amount, as inaccuracies result in significant dollar amounts.
