A store attracts customers by an advertisement for a bargain‑priced product. Once inside, the customer discovers that the product that was advertised, the "bait," is sold out or otherwise unavailable. The "switch" occurs when a salesperson pressures the customer into purchasing a higher‑priced product as a replacement, or if customers find themselves induced to make other purchases while inside the store. Bait and switch selling affects you as a consumer. 3, record 1, English, - bait%2Dand%2Dswitch%20selling
