...pricing but instead there's just a sale in that everything is being sold.
Do you feel this is just marketing or just deception?

Deception.

Technically, everything is on SALE... but it is deceptive since most people see that will assume something is discounted.
Maybe there is something discounted, but it could be 1 item in the whole store.
Definately a deceptive sign.
There have been electronic stores that have been fined for doing something similar where they place an add for an item on sale, only 2 available, but when people get there... the sales staff redirects them to a "better" and more expensive item.
Best Buy (May 2004) was being investigated for, among other things: company engaged in deceptive advertising, failed to have advertised merchandise available for sale... etc. [see link below]

It's not deception, per se. A "discount" is the idea that we have for a sale. It is clever marketing, though.

I'd ask the owner or cashier to offer me a sale . They probably would if you make them an offer !!! Be Bold and Assertive.. .not compliant .

Both. Most probably a store that I would not purchase from either. If you can't trust on the one hand, how can you trust the product they sell.

Yes but there is a difference in "on sale" and "for sale". I hope you voiced your dissatisfaction and left.
