Customer satisfaction
The basic principle of success in retail industry is customer satisfaction
More is the customer satisfaction, higher is the stores income

The major source of customer satisfaction is the amount of their savings while buying goods from a store

Hence customer gets special discounts everyday depending upon the MOP of items
