Answer:The store is engaging in a Bait and Switch tactic.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Bait and Switch?

This is a tactic used in sales buy businesses to attract customers In a deceitful way by advertising low prices on unavailable items but end up selling to the customers the other products which are more more expensive than the advertised products this is usually considered fraud.

The business uses attractive prices just to get the customer to the shop (that is a bait) where they know they can influence them once they are there to buy these other products which are expensive this is a switch. In the United States , Canada and England this counts as part of breaking the law.
