Somewhat on topic, I went by a local shop yesterday at lunch to look at jackets. I wanted a "transition" jacket. Its cold as OSP's heart in the morning, and hotter than Tigger's temper in the afternoon here. The shop had two Tourmaster Air Flow 2 jackets, one in L and one in M. The M was priced at $105, the L at $149. I thought "WTF Mate?". Why the big difference. I came back to work looked up prices on the net, and the best price I found was $152 for the same jacket. I promptly went back to pick up the medium at $105, and sure enough it rang up at $105. However, the clerk knew immediately that they had fucked up. The owner let me have the jacket at $105, which meant they took a loss. I felt guilty for about 2 seconds, then laughed all the way home. Was I wrong?
