2002-09-01   You could argue and make a big stink with the manager that since it was priced as 0.25 �, you have a legal right to purchase it at the posted price.  It is false advertisement if they don't sell it to you at the posted price.  And that BS about you should know what they meant would not hold up in court.  All you'd have to say is "I thought they were running a special".  It isn't your fault if they can't do it right.  Having to sell the product to you at a loss should be construed as a punishment for being stupid.   Isn't it a shame that we live in a society that rewards ignorance and punishes correctness?  Remember it is the fit that survive, the weak and ignorant eventually go under.     John   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, 2002-09-01 09:33 Subject: [USMA:21999] RE: Spanish dollar In a message dated 2002-09-01 09:13:14 Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Could be, but we never write "c$", we use �.  What is also funny is in the US, a "quarter can be written as either $ 0.25 (sometimes $ .25) or 25 �.

Or, by the illiterate and the innumerate who work in stores, .25 cents.  When you point out that they have priced something four for a penny, they look at you like you are stupid.  "Hey pal, you know what we meant."  "Yeah, but that's not what you wrote."  Morons.
