    Marty, Where I work (retail jewelry store) we where told the
    following : 

    If the price tags are showing, the customer already knows the price
    and will buy what they can afford and you're going to end up being
    just a "Sales Clerk". (common at costume jewelry counters) 

    If the tags are hidden the customer will have to ask the price of an
    item and you have to be a "Sales Person" and "Sell" the customer the
    jewelry which mean you need to know your product, not just quote a
    price or ring up their random selection they have made. 

    It didn't take me long to see this is true, so we start "selling"
    the jewelry well before we ever mention the price. 

    That if anything is the agenda of the hidden tag.
