Best Buy doesn't normally sell water. They would have bought this water just for this purpose - to gouge customers in need.
"Unpopular", Kurt?
It's ignorant.
Kurt needs to get out of his books and into life a little bit. There's no getting more water into a disaster area by the market route. And even if there were, water is an absolute necessity. If people can't get it from their taps, are they to go without if they don't have enough money? "Would you rather" implies a choice. Capitalism at its most inhumane.
I bet they do.
Which is why they added the "limited supply" note."This was a big mistake on the part of a few employees at one store on Friday," a Best Buy spokesperson told CNBC. "As a company we are focused on helping, not hurting affected people. We're sorry and it won't happen again. Not as an excuse but as an explanation, we don't typically sell cases of water. The mistake was made when employees priced a case of water using the single-bottle price for each bottle in the case."
Fortune
Good excuse.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
