The separate lawsuits alleging deceptive advertising were filed against J.C. Penney, Sears, Kohl's and Macy's, according to the Los Angeles city attorney's office.
"Customers have the right to be told the truth about the prices they're paying — and to know if a bargain is really a bargain," Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer said in a statement.
Feuer said the retailers falsely advertised higher regular prices for merchandise so customers believed they were getting bigger bargains.

I can believe this....all the business of 15 - 20 - 30% off. I'm sick of all the hype. I'm also over it. I shop at consignment only now.
Get your underwear there also?
If you really believe that $60 suit wasn't already worth only $40, then you sir deserve what you get. Enjoy
Sadly these are not the only stores doing this. Quite a few has picked up on it this year. If you are a shopper you notice this. For instance the stores advertising "Buy one get one Free' charges you full price for two as their selling price for one. One local store changes their price tags regularly for their weekend sales, mark them up to mark them down to their regular price.
