Supermarkets are sneaky and dishonest

Something I have noticed a lot of lately is shelving at the end of aisles. 3 brands of products, the middle one has a "Special" price tag. The products either side have no price.
Sneaky in that elderly people with not good eyesight might think everything on that shelf is the "Special" price.
Some people would be caught out, thinking they are getting the special price, when in fact they will pay full price.

"Buy 2 for $8" single price $5.20. You buy 2 and spend $2.80 more than you really intended.

Any sneaky tactics you notice at your supermarkets?

I buy the same stuff all the time and I don't pay much attention to the prices. And I'm going blind. I bought beer at the big liquor store last week and the clerk didn't ask for my membership number. I asked why. She said because it's on sale. I didn't notice that and it's the same beer I always buy. I said, "Even better!"
