What else would you expect from the home of the $100 HDMI cable?

Yeah, sorry...after they already deposited the money in the bank.
I’ve been told all morning that this shows good business sense.
im guessing this wasn’t a corporate decision. They’re not that stupid.
Meh. Disneyland charges $3 a bottle.
Somebody’s gonna lose their job.
well if they offered them at regular price then someone would just buy all of them and everyone else is SOL. So there is that. The alternative would be to limit them to one per customer I suppose.
Raising prices this way can to some extent actually make good economic sense and be socially beneficial. See “Politics and Pencils” at

If there is a limited supply of water, and if you charge the regular price, someone will come in, buy it all, and then go out an gouge. Raising the price can increase the likelihood of fair distribution.
“Sorry” .. we got caught
Supply and Demand.... Econ 101
There is no such thing as “price gouging”. It is an invention of the left. There is only supply and demand.
Yeah, but it only costs that much if you buy it with their three year extended warranty ...
Read people. They normally sell only singles. Those designer waters go for 2 to 4 dollars a bottle even at Walmart. When the employee made the sign, that is how it was priced. Not for the purpose of gouging, they just normally don’t sell by the case.
Best Buy?
Spit!
So a couple of people get cheap water and the rest get none. They should have just broken up the cases and sold singles.
Best Buy needs national shame for this.
Drudge, Foxnews and others.
That's $1.79 per bottle which I'm betting is exactly what they sell for in the refrigerator at the checkout line.
So where's the price gouging?
I’d have to say that in the aftermath of a natural disaster, Best Buy might be the last place I’d ever think about looking for bottled water.
Many on FR would approve.
I don’t.
