Mr Sobolewski is reported to have seen a sign at an Exxon gas station offering two bottles of Mountain Dew soda for $3, and believing $2 would cover the price of one, left his money on the counter. In fact, a single bottle cost $2.43, so staff at the gas station called the State Policewhy the fuck you'd call police for 43 cents? --- You have the right to remain silent.

If anything, this is a decent argument for including sales tax in the shelf price.It wasn't sales tax so much as a dumb bulk buy deal. They advertise 2 for $3. Guy assumes that means 1 is $1.50 and gives $2. When actually because he didn't get 2 he doesn't get the discount and has to pay the full price, which isn't covered by $2. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

If anything, this is a decent argument for including sales tax in the shelf price. Its not the sales tax, its that the deal is for two drinks at once. They do it with Gatorade here.

I don't think he should go to prison over this and I would like to think that the charges will be dropped, but why tf would you just leave the money on the counter? I would never even think to do that, for this exact reason. Did he really not have enough time to wait for a cashier? A little patience would have avoided this whole thing, as ridiculous as it is.

If I was homeless, isn't jail the best place to go? Three meals a day, a bed, and a roof over your head.Indeed. I have a neighbor who decided to leave the house due to his abusive landlord and go back to the streets. He ended up trying to rob a bank (while on crutches) to land himself behind bars. But that's beside the point. The lad here in the article didn't have the intention of going to jail to find a good night's sleep.
