Why can't a bookstore just have everything half price?

For example Barnes and Noble.
Book for $22.
I did not look at the price, thought it was a $9 book.
Never thought it would be more.
Nothing noble about spending $20 on a book that is not that valuable to me.
Did not buy it. Shocked at the register. Learned my lesson.

Walmart can sell something for 1/2 of retail price.
Why not Barnes and Noble?
Is there a law or something?
Even Sears can put shoes at 50% off retail.

Bookstores are going to go out of business with prices like that.
Granted, it had been a while since I've been in a bookstore. I use libraries or internet.

Do not mention I can get 10% off if I buy a card. That just annoys me.
