Don't get me wrong, principle is a great thing, but in the end I think there needs to be some cost-benefit analysis that goes into it. This has turned from a mere principle issue to one of vengeance in which SoCalGirl is trying to get someone fired or demoted. Even if she just gets the girl charged with fraudulent sales or whatever the charge is (with a fine of a grand and a year in jail!), is that worth it?
Certainly the law is in place for a good reason to protect consumers (and competition in the marketplace), but I'm just taking the side that there are some things worth fighting for, and for the effort and potential impacts, $1.50 (or essentially a 20oz bottle of soda) seems rather minimal in the scheme of things. Now someone advertising a new car for only $500 then pulling some sort of bait and switch - that's quite a bit different. But this? A little perspective is all I ask...
