Uh, you can leave me off your ping list, thank you. I’m perfectly capable of finding my own way on FR.

If this is such a smart business move why is the company saying “humina...humina...humina...”

In an educated society businesses would not be subjected to public shaming for such harmless acts. All the employees had to do is take the bottles out of the cases and continue selling them by the bottle, but of course the perpetually offended make it so it is easier for a company to offer an apology for something that requires none.

Because thee days it's all about "optics" and not being "tone-deaf" and other emotions.

Nobody wants to bother explaining basic economics. Easier to just apologize and fire people.

I guess Best Buy is obligated to give it all away for the same price you could buy it at Walmart in a part of the country that's not a natural disaster.

Because that is the other side of the equation. Short-term thinking leads to long-term problems, especially in this day and age of social media.
