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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Pooped on the copier

Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

I've tried getting into peertube to have something to watch. I'm exploring copyleft music on open audio / funkwhale. I'm on here in lemmy as of this week. I'm playing with mastodon and the fediverse. I've tried studying psychology and psychology-adjacent territory like Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault and Derrida so I can break...

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.

squirmy_wormy ,

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.

"ai" as people think of it is marketing spin.

Isn't the bulleted list the stuff that was lost? They say "we don't have govt id stuff so that can't be stolen, the CC info wasn't affected, here's the info that was potentially hit"

This seems like a great email to get. They know what subsystem was hit and are telling people.
