[Leica] Ethics in photography

[Gerry Walden]

I was in Sacks Fifth Avenues store on Long Island and needed a holdall bag, and the cheapest one they had was $99.99. I took it the cashier who said “That will be $9.99”. I said it was obviously wrong to which he politely replied “Sir, it is above my pay grade to question the cash register. You have a nice day” so I did.

As an aside, my wife and I had morning coffee there, and the server said it was so nice to see a couple in there having coffee adding “This really is a place for ‘ladies who lunch’ but you are very welcome’, it made us smile but I was the only man in the crowded coffee shop.

>> Here is today's question.  I am out of photo mailers, so I go to Staples to get some more.  I don't use them that often, so bought a pack of 11x14 for $7.99.  At checkout, the cashier says that will be 54 cents.  I say, that can't be right unless there is some really extreme sale.  The cashier says it is, that is how it scans.  Now the price is preposterous on its face, since I'm sure there is nothing in the store that sells for 54 cents.  So, the question is, should I have brought it to a manager's attention instead of buying out the remaining store stock?
