I wasn't going to buy any ice cream but the clerk told me about the deal at checkout so I did. Another clerk was like "wow you sold another one?"
Well then it sounds like the ice cream was on promotion and then he upsold the product. The sales are probably tracked and the clerk was working harder so it would reflect well on his performance review.
Never seen a discount that deep. Felt weird
You can find discounts sometimes like that with dairy. A farm might produce a lot of milk and before it goes bad they have to turn it into to something. Some companies can make the product in bulk and then sell it at a discount because supply and demand.
I've seen crazy deals with shredded cheese. Like buy 2 bags get 3 free at my grocery store. That's sooo much cheese, but they would get more profit selling it at a discount then letting the dairy expire.
