It “solved” the singular and bulk pricing. If they chose a lesser value for the single item, then the more you bought, it’d get more expensive.

They gave you the cheapest price for quantity. That’s both a scenario and reality.

The theoretical world is awesome. Let’s pretend we are in the real world where it’s much more disappointing

I’m with you 100%, but if we take a journey in the real world for a second, I’d appreciate an answer to my question.

Also, as an aside, if you hear of a baby dying from being put into an oven mistakenly - what is your raw reaction as a human? Do you just say “oh goobers.” Or do you start poking at how this could happen? If you do start to poke, who or what do you poke first and why?

Are you suggesting people should assume postpartum depression/psychosis when they see stories like this?

What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

Well sure - they put one sticker on and it solved everything. Are you suggesting they should have put a sticker to adjust the price of a single item and then also put another sticker on to hide the 3x item? That’s not only a waste of stickers and time, it also really doesn’t add or remove anything from the situation.

I’d argue you are the mildly infuriating part of this scenario at this point.

I’m assuming the £8 is a sticker put in the item and not what it originally said, since it looks raised and like a sticker.

That leads me to believe the original price under the sticker is greater than £8, which makes the discount make sense. And makes it interesting because the lowest a store could set a single unit and maintain the price curve is £8.

I know. If the single price was anything other than 8, the other hard coded prices give scaling discounts.

The adjusted price saves you money on a single one and removes the bulk savings. Kinda neat to me. Wonder if that was on purpose to make it easier to move stock.

*Edit: hell, the actual way to look at this is you get bulk pricing without the bulk. This is pretty awesome and mildly interesting if anything.

If original price was 9

1 for 9

2 for 18 (deal gives 2 off)

3 for 27 (deal gives 3 off)

If it was 10

1 for 10

2 for 20 (4 off)

3 for 30 (6 off)

Your original post referred to wanting to hire people based on the tools they use to do a task, not their ability to do the task - in fact, you talked down to people for using certain tools by calling them elitist. That’s why my pen/pencil comparison is accurate.

Personally, I think caring about that is silly.

Lol that’s like not hiring someone because they take notes with a pen instead of a pencil.

I’m pretty sure cold things just taste less. Keep that in mind when a beer is advertised as “best” when freezing cold.

The company addressed the issue though. I’d agree with you if they were like “oh well, things happen” and that was it.

No one got away with anything.

It’s shitty he doesn’t link to the original video. He shows the original channel in his video, but isn’t directing traffic.

Yeah…the article goes on to only talk about SUVs and trucks, not cars.

A bit click baity.

Pooped on the copier

Anime? I’d call them soap operas instead.

Do you though? Don’t they garnish wages over it?

I completely agree. The post kinda combined the two ideas and I was trying to suggest separating them. Anyone can get harmfully hooked on anything.

Sit quietly in a room and meditate. Every time you want to reach for a device, meditate for 5 minutes. Just breathe.

Or just go for a walk without any tech.

Edit: separate the capitalist bit from what you’re going through. Dependency is an individual experience, and there are dealers out there, but it’s all about choices you make for yourself.
