You couldn’t point out something “simple” if your life depended on it. You are a maniac for italics which, by the way, make your posts unreadable.

You and I have no idea whether at the time the photo was taken if they were selling individual bottles; the bottles may have been sold out or perhaps they hid them. In any case, the company apologized and somebody is probably going to lose their job. Lesson? Behave honorably during an emergency. God’ll like it.

Really, Unreadable? You read it. Or did you? .................................................................................................................... If you had you would have been educated. Since you continue to belly ache it is all but certain that you are too stupid to understand a very simple situation. That is discouraging. .................................................................................................................... It is the same price they charge every day. If someone losses their job it should be the PR Representative who stupidly apologized, but management generally scapegoats low level employees who have the least culpability in the matter. It is a standard in executive suites everywhere. .................................................................................................................... Go to a Best Buy, Home Depot or any other NON food related retailer and see what a bottle of water costs. It is normally $1-$3. They sell them every day as a convenient impulse purchase that gives their customers and employees the chance to get a convenient refreshing drink and also helps their bottom line. Making cases available was actually quite helpful for those people who wanted more than one. .................................................................................................................... Most likely the employees where sick of restocking the cooler and simply made the price available as a case purchase. They would simply ring up 12 @ $1.79 to get to the case price made up a sign and took their available stock out of the back room and put it on the sales floor. Once again AS A CONVENIENCE to the customers who may want to purchase more than one. It is almost certain that when they sold them they would have to ring them up as 12@ $1.79 as they probably do not have a way to sell them by the case in the first place. .................................................................................................................... There is certainly nothing dishonorable about that! .................................................................................................................... Stop virtue signaling. Stop castigating an entire corporation and stop babbling about things you simply know nothing about! It makes you look stupid, ignorant and arrogant.BOLD to help make the point. .................................................................................................................... BTW: Let's leave God out of it.
