A Goof-up That Wasn't Ours - This Time

Best Buy is one of my favorite stores because they have always treated me with respect and fairness. So I was a little perturbed to read about today's news. Apparently, due to a Internet pricing error, a 52-inch television was listed for $9.99 instead of the actual price of $1,799.99. Of course, some people thought they were getting a great deal, instead of the steal they really were after. Best Buy realized their mistake and have said they will not honor the incorrect price.

I have to side with Best Buy on this one. It was a mistake, albeit a whopper of one. But it was a mistake, something we all make. It wasn't malicious, it was a goof-up. Give them a break and let it go.

We all make mistakes, even the big dogs. We would do well to remember this the next time we drop our computer and carry it in to the Geek Squad!
