I was at the Apple Store in Emeryville, CA, on Saturday, but saw no markdown table... the store was packed with Xmas shoppers, as well as audiophiles (myself included) checking out the sexy black and red U2 edition iPods and trying out the mini speaker systems/docks. I only go to the physical stores in case of emergency, or for a visual of something I plan to purchase online for a better price. OK, I also go in for the occasional droolfest... it's fun to play with the toys.
