As you near the front door of a local clothing store, your phone dings, alerting you to a 10 percent discount offer on shoes inside.

You aren’t really in the market for shoes, but you decide to go inside to take a look anyway and discover that there is a pair of black dress shoes you like. They are more expensive than you want to pay, so you try them on while carrying on an internal debate as to their value and how good they look on you.
