Well- the morals are getting washy here. I was really only responding to the
cashier thing, not the toymaster thing.
I guess tho, that whether or not knew the deals were good or bad, it seems
that when they contact you and say- "hey, sorry, but those prices were a huge
mistake that would have put us out of business, so no sale, and here's a small
(real small!) discount 'cause we're sorry." You shouldn't really try to hold
them to it. You're not losing anything if you don't- you're just not getting
the deal you would have. So I guess I'd say, no, not theft, but probably not
the ethically best way to act, either.
