Staples settles Lawsuit - relevant to Hot Deals...

Hopefully this will set some sort of precedent for pricing errors. Also, I wonder what this "price auditor" will do for pricematching or other deals... make it harder or easier?

(sorry this isn't a hot deal, but it could be very important in the future)

Interesting artical and I think it is a hot deal cause if that happens again, you got $3 deducted.

That happens at almost any store... scanner has the wrong price.... But.. could be a hot deal here, because there's a local store (chain convenience store) that almost always scans in the wrong price on things, particularly sale items.. Maybe I'll just print out that article and wave it at the manager next time I'm over-charged 50 cents for potato chips. See if he'll price match the $3.00 guarantee (already, I've seen many stores with a $3 guarantee (or it's free if under $3))
