Ok...at what price cut-off do you think it is appropriate to pursue justice on the basis of principal? $20? $100?
What if I pushed someone's grandmother? Is it ok if I just give a moderate one-handed push to the shoulder or does it not cross the line until I use two hands or until grandma hits the pavement?
At what level of "wrong" does the law kick in?
I could use your logic and say that if $1.50 was "no big deal", then why did the store manager fuss so much about it and refuse to give SoCalGirl the advertised price? $1.50 should have been nothing to the "Prestige Manager". Why should the customer be required to accommodate the mistake of a retailer who broke a law specifically designed for moments like that one?
