The only downside is that now stores just say "sale"
instead of some average percent (or min max??) off... but that's not a biggie.

Speaking as a buyer that could be a drawback.  Sellers can no longer attract
customers by having a larger sales percentage listed.  I know my tendency
when I am just browsing has been to go through the stores with the higher %
sales.  I will be far less likely to hit every store with a sale notice
knowing it may only be for an item or two.  That's just going to take too
much time and will reduce the number incidental purchases I may have made
otherwise.  I'll be more likely going forward to only shop by specific
searches or in the stores I'm familiar with.
