The article says they don't normally sell cases of water. So why now? Are we to believe the timing of that decision was purely coincidental with the hurricane? And even if they just multiplied the single bottle price by the case quantity, what idiot looked at that number and thought, "Yeah, that sounds right for a case of water"...? It may very well have been just a mistake, but I'm not convinced. It looks to me like someone was hoping to take advantage of people in an emergency.
Do you regularly buy cases of water at BestBuy?
Does anyone normally buy cases of water at BestBuy?
If their current pricing scheme is for $1.74 for singles out of the chiller by the checkout, along with $2 16oz. Cokes and some $4 12oz. energy drinks, why would they change that because some unprepared people showed up and were willing to buy $42 24packs of bottled water? They were selling the cases their stock comes in , rather than opening the packaging and sticking it in the chiller so customers could buy it by the case rather then filling up a shopping cart with singles. It wasn't like they special ordered cases of bottled water with the intention of selling cases of water at an electronics store during the middle of a flood.
