Look. If you had one shot—or one opportunity—to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

This guy certainly did not miss his chance to blow when he stumbled on the succulent opportunity of a lifetime: a goldmine of prime rib priced down to absurdly low figures.

If it weren't for the fact that he intended to (supposedly) cook this meat for a Veterans' charity, I'd probably have to say that he is the AH here. Having worked retail in a previous life, there is always going to be that customer who tries to dupe you into charging out a scanning error. Most of us (who had dared to even give this a shot) probably would have given up the game when the meat first rang up at the correct price. The poster's comfortability with allowing himself to be charged the correct price before marching right over to customer service and quoting "laws" tells you exactly what kind of person this probably is.

Still, if it's for a Veterans' charity… we could be in the clear. What's your judgment here?
