I would definitely fight for my right. For example, I was in WalMart and Vitamin water was on sale for a dollar so I decided to buy some, but when I got to the cashier it registered for about $1.50. So I told the cashier that the sign said that it was on sale for a dollar, they called the floor supervisor to double check and was told that the drink was a dollar. I was buying five at the time which meant that I would have paid for 2.5 extra Vitamin waters. That is quite a bit over in my opinion.
I think that the video exposes a bigger problem than people not willing to fight for their rights. Quite a few customers thought that they got a really good deal and did not even realize that they paid way more than the $10, because they were not paying attention. One person said that they were embarrassed to argue about the price. No one should be embarrassed to fight for their right because if you don’t have your best interest at heart then who will. Rather you should be proud to stand up for yourself. You have to love and respect yourself before anyone else can.
I always pay attention because we are all humans and we make mistakes and see no reason why anyone should pay more than the price. I think that this is what is wrong with society and the reason for the economic crisis right now. We tend to act like mindless sheep, just following and paying no attention to what’s going on around us or what’s ahead. This attitude permeates society, not only do people not pay attention to how much they should pay, like some of the customers in the video, they also don’t pay attention to when their credit card payment is due or if they can really afford the monthly payments of the mortgage they just got. I think that this should be a warning to us, with so many graduating next week and entering the “real world.”
Can you think of a reason why people don’t pay attention, like those in the video and do you think that someone should be embarrassed about fighting for their right?
