“Anything under 5 dollars is free, returning something that didn’t fit is profit, a 30% off sale means you’re earning that 30% or by not making the purchase losing that money” rules like those.

FWIW I think the third one isn’t anywhere near as bad as the first two. You are getting more value for your money when you get a percentage off.
