No I would not, I would assume the limit was set in place for a reason, even
if I didn't like it. It's their store and they can set any limits they want,
I don't have to shop there.

I read the story thinking of how ashamed I would be if my son was bragging
of how his dad "beat the system" and ended up getting something he didn't
pay for at the error of someone else.
