Some stores do that yes but that's their discretion and we don't know the particulars of the return or if it was a return. They could have received a damaged package and marked it down because nobody wanted it. I've seen people ask the cashier for a discount because the CD case was cracked. And they get it. This dress/shirt/pants etc has a stain or a ripped seam can I get it reduced a bit in price? I've seen that too. Some people are fine with that and some people won't touch an imperfect item.
Some stores will reduce the sales price to mitigate an entire loss and sometimes they may have to if the manufacturer charges them too high a fee to return the item to them. Something in the retailer's pocket is better than nothing or being in the negative.
