I'm a consumer myself, and all this is of course completely rational behaviour! But it clobbers the label's cashflow in the longer term, which is why quite a few are looking at ways of tweaking that model - given that discounts clearly aren't going to go away. Not least because they're obviously the best means of disposing of stock that isn't selling as fast as it could.
