BestBuy employees (single location; not a sanctioned corporate effort) charged almost $43 for a case of water in the Houston area!
That is appalling!!!!
Or .... is it?
Seems they priced the case based upon the single bottle, multiplied 24 times.
$1.79 x 24 = $42.96
Are you mad?
Maybe you should be.
But not because of what the store employees did.
Rather, that any of us pay more than 15 cents for a bottle of water at ANY time, ANY where.
None of us blink when we pay $1.29 or $1.59 for a bottle of water. (size dependent of course)
Why is this act at BestBuy "price gouging" then?
Don't like it? Don't buy it.
Not one person would complain if they said "For sale: single bottle of water $1.79 each. Limit 24 per customer."
PERSPECTIVE - keep it in mind always.
