That officially apologized but they also blamed one of their employees. I am not sure I like that part.

Ok, Best Buy made a mistake, but the price gouging on hotel rooms and gasoline, those are not mistakes. They should be fined at the least for taking advantage of a bad situation. Shame on them.

Yes, I admit it does look bad if you just look at the picture, but Best Buy was able to explain what happened. An employee created a sign with the price for the pack by taking the price of an individual bottle and multiplying it by the number of bottles in the pack. Total price, not price gouging or taking advantage of anyone.

It would be different if every Best Buy was doing this but it was just one particular store. Price gouging it happens in every disaster doesn’t make a difference if it’s one store that’s part of a chain or mom-and-pop store everybody has their greed about making money. Anyway corporate apologize for the store I think the store manager should apologize or if this has been a total hoax, then it should be exposed.

A photo of two cases of bottled water, one selling for $42.96 and the other for $29.98, at a Best Buy in the Houston suburb of Cypress Texas, was posted on Twitter Tuesday by a journalist, unleashing a series of angry Twitter responses. The photo shows the higher priced one appears to be for 24 bottles while the cheaper pack, possibly a different brand, has 12 bottles. Best Buy spokesman Jeffrey Shelman apologized in a statement for what he said was an error made by a local employee who added up the cost of each individual bottle of water to come up with the price for the entire case. “This was a big mistake on the part of a few employees at one store on Friday,” Shelman said. “We’re sorry and it won’t happen again.” He added “not as an excuse but as an explanation,” that the big box electronics seller doesn’t usually sell packages of bottled water. By contrast, Walmart, on its website, lists 24 packs of Poland Spring bottled water for $20.63.

Watch the report here:

Some of the price gougers are trying to make it right and give refunds because when this is all over, the Texas Attorney General is “comin’ fer ya.” You will probably see fines in the range of $20,000 and $250.000, especially if they took advantage of an elderly person.

In every tragedy or natural disaster, you will have those who are greedy trying to cheat and take advantage of folks. From the mom and pop store gouger to the contractor or corporation —- people have some heart!
