[Leica] Ethics in photography

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

Sidetracked with work? Yeah, I can recall what that was like ;-)

Your observation about the liability to the clerk is all the more reason to press the issue.

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?
