Re: Purchasing error's
It's a question of morality -- and it's an interesting debate, for sure.
I do disagree with taking extreme advantage of an error... Ordering 13 Jetfires really is overboard... I probably wouldn't do that myself.
At the same time, if I happened to order one and the charge never came up on my credit card, I don't think I would be trying to call Walmart months later to try to explain their error and make payment.
Also, there is no way that I would buy an item from one store (chain), and then return it to another. I can see how other might view all retailers as one huge conglomerate against which to battle for deals... but I don't think it is morally correct... the worst are the stories we have heard for people buying an item, replacing the contents with a lesser item, and then returning it... Can you imagine being a kid opening a gift on Christmas morning and finding some used junker? Pure evil.
I do get annoyed about buying things and then seeing them on sale a mere days or weeks later... I used to not bother with returning to a store to price match, but then it happened so often that I started to feel ripped off -- like a store was taking advantage of me by overpricing things regularly...
