getting out of hand?

I think in this instance she was justified in that it wasn’t like the “hot coffee from McDonalds” case…
She reportedly told them about it once, went back a week later, and it was still charging tax, and no one did anything about it.
I guess KMart tried to settle pre-trial and she wouldn’t because they wanted her to sign a confidentiality agreement. She wanted it public so people would know to look more closely at their receipts. She wasn’t trying to get millions; I think the amount was like the minimum she could request or something like that.
But, like it was said, if KMart is doing that all over PA and you add up those taxes, it can amount to some good money, regardless of who’s pocket it goes in to.
Giant Eagle was busted taxing the wrong stuff last year, too, by one of the TV channel’s “investigative reporters”. I’m sure it happens more than we’d think, and who looks over their receipt to make sure…?

true…

but the store manager…even regional mangers can not make a corporate decision in that amount of time. I am not disagreeing with what happened and or the outcome, but ive worked in retail all my life and large companies investigate before they make an outright decision. Especially when it comes to a matter of tax.
