Fair enough, but people who can't afford full price don't generally proudly announce that they "never pay full price", they usually just haggle and dont make a big deal about it. The people who announce it are generally just entitled assholes who want something for free.
In sales in the trades there’s a saying that 33% of people always buy no matter what, 33% need to be convinced and shown the value of what you’re offering, and 33% are too cheap and are usually considered bad money. That bad 33% cause the most warranty calls/issues, are generally a customer service time/money sink, and are often abusive.

Ex. Realtors fall into that bad 33%. Often short with CSRs to the point of being abusive, want quick service because the buyer typically requests an HVAC/plumbing/electrical inspection at the last minute, and are CHEAP. We have a special price code just for them called real estate inspection. It’s 7x higher than the typical residential inspection fee because those assholes aren’t worth dealing with unless they’re paying through the nose.
Yes, I realize not all realtors are jackasses. We have 2 out of all of the ones that want our service that we have no problem charging the lower rate to because they treat our employees with respect.
I don't understand this, honestly. I look at the final price of something regardless of whether or not it's on sale and think to myself "Is this a reasonable price for this item? Is it something I actually want/need and will use?" If I answer no to either I usually don't buy it.
You do understand it. There's an extra mental benefit to "getting a deal", so when you're weighing the pros and cons that's another thing in the "pro" column. Also, people subconsciously think expensive items are better. So this combination of higher original price and high discount makes you think you're getting a good quality item at a deal.
You are not immune unless you do a lot of garment making and can tell the actual time and effort that went into the item you're looking at.
