Abruptly shutting down the world economy and spending trillions replacing energy sources
OR
dealing with consequences of %26quot;global warming/cooling/change%26quot; as they (if they) arise |||As some others have pointed out the ill considered things the AGW promoters have already gotten implemented have killed millions of people in the last few years and actually made things worse environmentally. They have not affected climate at all but these green activities have bee a massive disaster for people and the environment. The AGW greens do not comprehend the bases of any large-scale involvement in society or ecology. This rule is “First do no harm!” And they have already done a ton of harm with just minor actions like the low scale implementation of bio-fuels that has destroyed millions of acres of tropical rain forest in Brazil, Indonesia and Burma. This has also raised food costs in the developed world to new highs and starved millions of third world people to death because the grain was turned into fuel instead of feeding the hungry.
Problem is we know it warmed up for a while and that it was the sun that caused the warming that stopped in 1950. Then things cooled slightly to about the 1900 level until the late 70s when it warmed up again for a few years and now it shows signs of potentially cooling off again. The only thing unusual about the 20th century warming was that was the mildest warming in history and most of the best scientists are concerned that it might not be a true climate optimum like previous ones at all. But just another short warm spike like has already occurred several times previously in the little ice age, one of which was much hotter and more sudden than our current warming has been or even potentially could be. So be careful with religious freaks that only want control over the government and economy.

|||The 1st one will probably have a higher price tag like at the start but the 2nd one will cost a lot of money over time so it could be either way|||There is no question that shutting down economies will harm people far more. Longer growing seasons and warmer nights never hurt anyone. When it was warmer than now a thousand years ago, it was a prosperous time. When did all this seeing into the future become believable. Who are all these idiot leftists that think they are prophets and why do sane people listen to them. The modeles suggest less than a degree of difference. What makes anyone think that is a bad thing. They have poisoned even reason and common sense of way too many.|||The first will destroy what is left of the worlds economy. The second will cost nothing because there will be nothing to spend money on as our current world climate is much colder than all previous climate optimums and drastically colder than the holocene climate optimum.|||Since the temperature change that may happen is slight, and the chances of some good coming of a warmer earth are good, and since we can%26#039;t do much for the world if our economy tanks, and since our economy is looking bad right now, I say wait and see. IMHO.
The EPA may act without congress%26#039;s help on this one (regulation is easier than legislation) costing our economy $7 trillion by 2029. You have to ask if we could do more good for U.S. and the world with $7 trillion than keeping the temperature from climbing two-tenths of one degree?
|||Dealing with the consequences of global warming is cheapest, because we don%26#039;t have to do anything. Climate change is natural, not manmade...we should just forget about the whole thing.|||Well, the phrasing of your question is really stupid, why would anyone consider shutting down the world economy? Are you proposing that? Certainly none of the people that believe in AGW would suggest that, it%26#039;s stupid.
On the other hand %26quot;dealing with consequences...as they ..arise%26quot; is pretty dumb too. It doesn%26#039;t take many catastrophic events to add up to a lot of money. How much money did Katrina cost? Perhaps $100 billion dollars. How much did Ike cost? 30 billion dollars. What sort of cost do you put on the 100,000 lives that were lost in Myanmar this year due to Cyclone Nargis? What would be the cost of flooding of the Sacramento Delta that would turn the California Water Project brackish and cut off Southern California%26#039;s northern water supply for a year or more? What would be the cost on new %26quot;dust bowls%26quot; all over the world? What would be cost of a 3 meter sea level rise? I%26#039;ll tell you right now it would be in the trillions.
The world economy already seems to be in dire straits, perhaps a changeover to a non-fossil fuel based economy might be the right thing to jump-start it.
|||The answer...NEITHER! First of all, there should be a transition into green electric production, not a total shut down. We need fuel sources that are perpetual and will not run out. Oil and coal will not last past the next 30 years or so. We might as well tackle this problem now, versus hand our children another problem we%26#039;ve decided to put off.
Secondly, we do not fully understand the consequences of the dramatic climate change we are seeing, especially in the last 30 years. CO2 levels in our atmosphere have never reached the current levels they are at now, especially at a rate at which they are now climbing. Therefore, we cannot put a price tag on climate change if we don%26#039;t know what to fully expect.
Climate change is real and WE are the source of this change. Nearly 90% of scientific studies derive this same conclusion...if you will not look at simple CO2 trends throughout the history of the planet (taken from glacial samples and other dating methods) then perhaps you%26#039;ll notice record high temperatures all around the globe and the record increase in devastating storms/natural events world wide.
I consider the production of green energy and the development of green technology to be a tremendous opportunity to not only utilize technologies with eternal sources (sun, wind, the earth%26#039;s heat, etc.) and improve national security (less foreign imports and energy independence), but also to begin exporting these developed goods/services/technologies to other nations (forget the price tag...there is an opportunity to make a profit!). Those who stay the course of %26quot;we%26#039;ll deal with it tomorrow%26quot; will run out of fossil fuels (and yes, this is true), will be behind technologically, and will be behind as a developing nation in an ever increasing competitive environment we call the global economy.
In fact, having a source of traditional fossil fuels may eventually become the source of your economic %26quot;shut down%26quot; as these natural resources fade away in the near future.|||Drastic governmental efforts to quickly reduce human greenhouse gas emissions won%26#039;t be possible without hurting the world%26#039;s economy. CO2 TAX for everybody %26amp; higher gas prices would also mean the burden gets passed down to consumers. Restrictions in productivity is the icing on the cake, particularly for 3rd world countries.
All those efforts might, just might only reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, and I said might because the main source of CO2 is natural. Furthermore, If indeed we are entering a cooling trend, all CO2 would be most welcome.
Scientists are still not sure about this cooling phase, but there are some indications. We do know, however, that warming stopped in 1998.
.If it is true that we are at the beginning of a cooling trend, then growing seasons will be shorter for many years, so we%26#039;d better stop burning our food supply for bio-fuel like we%26#039;re currently doing and start stocking it instead....or we%26#039;ll be in BIG trouble.
..edit..
So your first choice would undoubtedly come with higher price!|||Since there is nothing man can do to effect the climate, either way, warmer of cooler, than your first choice would definitely have the higher price tag.
Keep in mind, how strong Planet Earth really is. One volcanic eruption puts more debris in the atmosphere in minutes than what all the man made activity has done to the present time. Man continues to build %26quot;earthquake proof%26quot; structures, and rebuilds these structures after earthquakes. Same thing with storm shelters built to withstand the elements. Sooner or later, these shelters don%26#039;t %26quot;withstand%26quot;.
Mankind needs to get away from its own arrogant thinking that leads us to believe we are %26quot;all powerful%26quot;. This place we call home, (Earth) has a way of reminding us from time to time, how strong we really aren%26#039;t.|||1st. Because without a WORLD economy there would be no federal economy. No state economy. No YOU economy.|||1. Fossil fuel sources are finite and will run out in about 20 years. Do you propose to wait until fossil fuels run out before investing in alternatives? The investment will need to be made within the next 20 years regardless of which option is chosen. The question is whether to start investing in new energy sources now with some chance of reducing the costs of global warming or to invest later and bear more adaptation costs.
2. Your question is based on the false assumption that alternative energy sources need to cost more. My company is currently selling the energy equivalent of a barrel of oil for $19.50 to industrial users from an alternative source and making a profit. The price is low to make it economic for buyers to convert their equipment to a new fuel source. After the conversions are made, a market price based on the price of fossil fuels will be charged and our profit will increase. Would you rather buy from people that crash airplanes into your office towers at $54 (or much higher) a barrel or from domestic supply with the jobs and taxes staying in your country?
Despite my prior remarks, I do hope that you are successful in discouraging investment in alternative energy. My company currently owns a tiny share of the North American energy market, but is investing in more plant %26amp; equipment to expand our capacity to about 3200 boe/day. It will be easier to increase our market share if serious competition is delayed.|||The world economy will not be %26quot;shut down%26quot; by investing in renewable energy. It actually opens alot of new markets and options for the economy (eg. Carbon trading, etc.). Some people are set to make alot of money out of this!
The price of adapting to global warming is not just a monetary value as preventing it is. The price of global warming is altered habitats, threatened food production, water security issues, biodiversity loss, etc. Extinction is possibly the worst price the world will pay. Once a species is lost it can never be replaced. How can you put a price on that?

Offeror simply change the good's price.?
Morgan placed an advertisement in the daily express to sell a 2nd hand pick up truck that he own and also sell various items such as lap-top computer, a fan, books and an electric oven were displayed with price tags attached.
Beatrice saw the advertisement and called Morgan saying that she would tahe the said pick up truck at the price stated. Morgan by the time has change his mind to keep the pick up truck, therefore he told Beatrice that he had decided against selling the vehicle, but that he might sell it if beatrice would pay Euro6,000 for it. Beatrice immediately agreed to the price but Morgan vacillated, saying that he would not sell the car after all..
How is the situation if is this? Thanks you very much..|||A deal is not a deal until both parties have agreed to complete it. Morgan is entitled not to sell his vehicle if he wishes.|||Offer, and acceptance. The hallmark of a contract. But since its all oral it would be very hard to prove.|||advertisements are not an offer, they are an invitation to treat (look up errr...iv forgotten the name of it. i think it had something to do with Boots Cash Goods Chemist, but could be wrong).
then, Morgan was not offering to sell it for 6000, he was merely making a statement of fact about the lowest price he might accept. i can%26#039;t remember the precedent.
but there is no valid offer and acceptance, hence there is no contract.

NASD background check?
I am 26 and am currently working for a firm. I have my life and health license and I%26#039;m looking to take the securities exam. 5 years ago, I was with a friend who was caught changing the price tags on merchandise. I was arrested for fraudulent removal of writing and theft (50-500). I was sentenced to 1 year probation and 20 hours of community service. The terms were completed and the case was dismissed. I fully disclosed everything to my current employer.
My question is will this be something that keeps me from selling securities because it happened only 5 years ago?|||Maybe, but you can get it expunged. You can do it yourself and it shouldn%26#039;t cost too much to do it. Go to you Clerk of Court and see what forms they want to file your case. Good luck!

Can i still exchange something without the receipt? It has the tags and prices.?
So I bought something today at (PACSUN) but the jeans were to loose i want to exchange the item to a new size but the women in the store did not give me my receipt can i still change it?
The Item has the price label and the tags.|||Yes, just remember to bring the card you bought it with. Put it in the PACSUN bag you got.|||PacSun has a pretty standard return/exchange policy-you can go ahead and exchange them, but if they dont have a style/size you want, you can also exchange them for store credit|||you%26#039;ll probably just get store credit|||Yes, and you can probably hold it against them for not giving you a receipt.|||You shouldn%26#039;t have a problem. But some stores do have very strict return policy%26#039;s.

Does the tag in front of an item at Wal-Mart mean they have to sell for that price?
I know if there is something with a big price sign over it and its wrong they still have to sell it for that price until they change it but does the same apply to the little tag on the shelf in front of the item?|||
After you check %26quot;the little tag on the shelf in front of the item%26quot;, also check the %26quot;sku number%26quot; on the item to make sure that is the item that belongs there. People carry around an item, decide not to buy it (or find a different style,etc.) and plunk down the one they were carrying around.
No, a store does not have to give you the little tag price because an item has been %26#039;orphaned%26#039; .
I only argue with a manager when many of the same items are in back of the little tag or the sku matches, but not the price I%26#039;m charged. Then I am going to get it for the tag price.
|||sure why not
|||If the self tag has the wrong price they may honor it as a courtesy but they certainly dont %26quot;have to%26quot;. |||maybe|||They have to sell it for the price that is displayed next to the item. However, I have seen cashiers refuse to ring up sale prices because it ended, even though the sign was still up. In that case, you need to go to the manager.|||Yeah, if it%26#039;s the right tag for the right product. If they don%26#039;t, it%26#039;s considered false advertisement, which is a big deal.|||yes. provided sale inventory numbers match.|||yes they should sell it..... i work at home depot and if we placed it in the wrong spot and it looks like thats were it suppose to go.... then we give it to you for that price...... thats the same way walmart works.... but if a customer placed one there and its out of place and not alot of them there then yeah you prolly will not get it at that price.....|||No everything is done electronically. Now days it%26#039;s the product SKU that has the final word. You can ask to see the store manager and protest it. They hate to see unhappy customers and probably give you a discount.|||It just means it%26#039;s what you should have paid for it before you stuffed it in your woman%26#039;s purse or down your pants.|||I think so|||They are legally bound to put the price into effect, yes.
Follow this rule:
IF IT WAS WRITTEN PUBLICLY OR IN ADVERTISING BY AN AUTHORIZED SOURCE, IT IS TRUE. (The reverse applies)
As far as something like a WalMart price tag is concerned, yeah, you can haggle. But a sense of judgement is needed here, what%26#039;s the point of haggling for two bucks? That%26#039;s your ethics. But as far as the price tag is concerned, they can be held responsible, yes.
Also, some employees sometime try to take the easy and quick way. If it means to walk all the way to the stall and look, they might haggle you too!

Why is my cousin like this?
One of my cousins is a real sneak.
Hes been sneaky since he was a little boy.
He likes to get people mad one time he cut someone off and wouldn%26#039;t let them get in the lane he was in and gave them the finger and they missed the turn.
Another time some old woman cut in front of him and he drove up to her window and threw food in it and sped away.
He likes to change price tags on clothes for a lower price.
He makes fun of people especially overweight, old and strange people and he is a pervert.
He cons people to make them pay for him.
He likes to get anything out of people. He sweet talked his girlfriend at the time to buy him expensive clothes and wallets such as gucci, guess, burberry ect.
He always dresses good he never is sloppy always has to have white perfect teeth, face, hair, clothes ect.
My question is what is wrong with him? What kind of personality does he have? His parents and grandparents are not like this at all they are hard working people.|||He sounds like a spoiled rotten, self-centered, egotistical, bad-mannered, con-artist and a narcissist who needs to have someone kick the living crap out of him. Maybe that will smarten him up.|||People learn this type of behavior through watching family as they are growing up.|||he is probably insecure. either that, or he is just a good old fashioned dueshe bag.

Can I return something to Wal-Mart without a price tag?
I bought two small carpets for my classroom, cut off the price tags and threw them away. This was literally within the last four days. I changed my mind on the carpets and want to return them, will they take them? And yes I have the receipt. Thanks!|||Yes. Definitely. They%26#039;ll just have an employee put a new price tag on it.|||Yes!|||yeah!|||Hell Yeah. I returned a pair of sandals last week without the price tag. As long as you have your cash register receipt it doesn%26#039;t matter about the price tag. They will take them back as long as you didn%26#039;t let the dog poop on them. Good luck and have a nice visit at Wally World as I call it. =}
Is My Girlfriend Wrong?
Let%26#039;s say my g/f changes price tags on clothes and sometimes gets denied at the cash register, but sometimes, gets away with it, is this a bad sign? I%26#039;m not saying she is doing it but its happened more than once that she got denied, my mom just thought it was weird, they kept saying the price was higher than the tag said, like yesterday she got clothes that we like $75 and got them for like $25. It amazes me cuz she is such a great girl, best relationship I%26#039;ve had, she%26#039;s amazing!|||well it kind shows she is cheap and stingie but she can be a great person to and i know a person who does that to
vote mine best answer please|||she%26#039;s a thief|||lol no she is smart as hell. and it would be smart to keep her cause she will spend less of your money. good find mate|||Well yeah it%26#039;s bad if she%26#039;s doing that.

What is the proper name for the delay/lag in gas price drop?
Why does this lag in pricing happen and is it a truly %26quot;fair%26quot; system?
How does Europe compare? Have their prices fallen as rapidly (and accordingly) as our gas prices, now that oil is trading at less than 75 bucks a barrel?
I know their prices are 3-4 times higher than ours due to high taxation, which means there%26#039;s more stability in gas prices since crude oil prices make up a smaller percentage of their price tag at the pump. Therefore, in the US, any change in crude oil pricing means a greater *percentage* change of price at the pump, although the *absolute* price change remains relatively small.
Thanks!|||I would call it nothing more than blatant profiteering as the petroleum producers are quick to put up the prices, but are reluctant to bring them down again. In the UK, the major supermarkets are leading the way in dropping the pump prices by up to 5 pence per litre. Currently their prices are about 99 pence a litre / 拢4.50 per gallon, still way above what they were 12 months ago!! Don%26#039;t you believe that there is more stability in the pump prices as it depends on where you live in relation to the pump price.

It is in huge tanks underground. At a higher cost. It takes awhile before that high cost fuel is replaced by lower cost fuel so they are gonna sell all the higher priced stuff at the higher cost. Only figures.
That is their story. Unfortunately it does not work when they raise prices. That happens overnight. What are you gonna do. You need the stuff.

Also buying from one firm over another is like casting a vote. The consumers have the power to %26quot;vote out%26quot; any company.|||Hey, the service stations buy the gas from the semi%26#039;s. It is in huge tanks underground. At a higher cost. It takes awhile before that high cost fuel is replaced by lower cost fuel so they are gonna sell all the higher priced stuff at the higher cost. Only figures.
That is their story. Unfortunately it does not work when they raise prices. That happens overnight. What are you gonna do. You need the stuff.
If you take the price tag off a shirt, but still have it can i still return it
i bought it this morning, but i changed my mind about it...i ripped off the price tag that was connected but i never threw it out, can i return it|||Depends on the store.
A Store that never take back clothes without tags would be Forever21
[Edit]: American eagle? No problem. They are guarenteed satisfactory Customer Service. They either take it back for a full refund or store credit in the amount the merchandise was; no deadline to return, how great is that?|||you should be able to, i do it all the time|||Yeah if you have the receipt too.|||you should be able to.
it depends on the store.
if not they will at least give you store credit.

With prices rising from everything from gasoline to milk to postage, how are you trying to stay out of debt?
Postage is rising again today, and each day the gasoline price tag has changed. Not to mention almost all food products have risen in prices or are about to. Truckers are protesting, no one is able to make a living out there. I read (a couple days ago) how people are giving up their pets because they can%26#039;t feed the pet and the family both any more. I want to know how are YOU making sure your family is fed and you get to work (not to mention pay them horrendous natural gas prices plus other bills).|||It%26#039;s very tough. My family has been fortunate and haven%26#039;t had to cut back anything yet, however we have a baby due in the beginning of June, and I know there will be a lot of set backs with our financial status after that! I do intend to eventually quite my job (if the job market permits) and just work closer to home, that could save us $320.00 a month because I spend $80 a week just in gas!! Ridiculous!|||How many people struggling to make ends meet are prepared to give up their cable / satellite TV subscription ?|||Gas is getting ridiculous. I live at home right now and there is only 3 of us. I do pay for gas every other time. I don%26#039;t fill it up all the way. I only put in a certain amount. Right now, it is $3.75 a gallon. The way gas prices are going, one would come up with another way to fuel a car. I know somebody has come up with the way of hydrogen. Who knows when we can use that or if we will have to buy a certain type of car to get hydrogen fuel.
Changing prices?
I was over at my friends house the other day and she said look at all that i got for less than $25.00.......A thomas the tank 3 pc infant set for $5.99.....a polo ralph lauren toddler shirt for $3.00...a knit dress for herself $9.99 and studded jeans for 9.99..I said to her wow..where did you go?? and she said different stores..all i do is change the prices in the changing room....she takes off the orginal tags and puts cheaper prices on. I was stunned, I said that%26#039;s nice!!! I am so afraid my friend is going to get caught..she has kids!! .I thought they have cameras in the changing rooms??. Why doesnt the cashiers catch on??|||This is one of the reasons my husband is my ex. I was appaled that he would take the children with him when he did this. Unfortunately my younger daughter learned this trick and I have had to do some serious work with her to understand that not only is it wrong butis illegal, same a shoplifting.|||is that possible? i mean all the other clothes have the right price tags on them and when the item is scanned, doesn%26#039;t the right price come up on the screen??? i think you might want to tell her that this is a dishonest thing to do and that she might get caught.|||Better watch your friend. Sounds like she would steal anything from anybody as long as she thinks she won%26#039;t get caught.|||That would be treated the same as if she were shop lifting. I hope she stops soon for her kids sake.

What is my sister to do?
my sister was in the local walmart and was changing price tags on some items she was purchasing as she was she used her husbands discount card (who is a walmart employee) the loss prevention lady told her she was going to get all her transactions with the card and i think she has done it more than once and get her husband fired and make sure he doesnt get the promotion he is up for in the near future what should she do|||Rewrite the question it%26#039;s hard to understand what happened here.
I don%26#039;t see what this has to do with him being fired if she was shoplifting.|||What she was doing is illegal and SHE could be arrested. I cannot believe she would risk her husband%26#039;s job and change price tags. That is SO LOW.||| As a walmart employee, I can say her husbadn will be lucky if he is not fired. He should get the promotion but I dont know how that works.
Your sister may be banned from the store because changing price tags is AKA stealing.|||She should try honesty.|||She has obviously been charged and will have to suffer the consequences. If Walmart feels her husband is a threat to their company and just by association to his wife who is a thief to Walmart, he could either lose his job - or - stay a shelf stocker for the rest of his career while always being watched.

I%26#039;m only 14, and recently, someone put an idea into my head about changing price tags at a store here in canada, called winners.

My friend wasn%26#039;t even involved with any of it really, but at the checkout, the security gard came and brought us in. Anyways, after all that, we weren%26#039;t charged really, and were left with a warning, but we did have to pay a fine. It was from 5 dollars to 1 dollar, and i had the money, i just did it for the thrill, i know what i did was wrong, it was a fraud, and i%26#039;m never going to do it again. I reacted really calmly to the situation, because crying won%26#039;t get me any sympathy. But now, i feel really bad, they made a scene, and it was a winners next to my house, and i%26#039;m scared to go outside now. it%26#039;s been 2-3 days since the incident, and i feel like crap, i%26#039;m just lying in bed all day,eating and watching japanese dramas. i think maybe if i reacted differently, maybe i wouldn%26#039;t feel like this right now?

Shoplifting at walmart?
My sister was caught changing price tags and paid about 20 on items that were worth 58 dollars. The loss prevention lady stopped her before she got out of the store, and played the tape, and all that stuff. The thing is that my sister used her husband%26#039;s discoun card ( he is a walmart employee but not at that store), and altough he took her to the store, he wasn%26#039;t there when that happened. Now, the loss prevention lady is going to investigate him as well, to see if she has done it before, and she told me she did it several times. I am sure they have all the tapes to prove it. She wasn%26#039;t arrested she got a ticket and she has to go to court in a month, she is also banned from the store, and he husband might lose his job ( he had no idea of what she was doing).
What is going to happen to her? Would they charge her with only the stuff that she stole that day? can walmart charge her a felony if they brign all the other stuff she has stolen before she got caught? She lives in GA.
Note: I had to retype my question because no one understood what I was saying...|||No one messes with Wal-Mart|||My friend got caught shoplifting at walmart and they just made her pay a fine and she was ban from the walmart for a short period of time. He should not get fired as long as he did not play a part in the theft.|||In the state of Ca I know if you steal more than $500.00 worth of stuff it becomes a felony theft charge.
Really who steals from Wal-Mart? Wow, to top it off your friends husband is an employee of this company. She might just have put her husband on the unemployment line. Loss Prevention should be VERY concerned her husband might also be stealing internally. Hey, it happens more then you know! Both can be prosecuted and fined! I wouldn%26#039;t be surprised if Wal-mart had all their evidence on tape. The number of times she%26#039;s shoplifted; they were probably waiting for her to get to the amount that is considered felony theft! She better get herself a good lawyer. Hey it doesn%26#039;t pay to steal. |||I%26#039;ve worked for Wal-Marts Loss Prevention and let me tell you first off your just going to pay the fine and be banned for up to a max of two years. And they can only keep 30 days worth of evidence on them. He can%26#039;t lose his job!|||Walmart is very big on working with law enforcement and prosecuting shoplifters and other thieves. You can bet that on your friends court date there will be a Walmart loss prevention manager in court with the video.
Her husband could very well loose his job over this. It was his discount card, he let her use it, he is responsible for everything done with that card.
You said she got a ticket, you can bet she was told she was under arrest and they gave her the ticket in lieu of taking her to jail and booking her in.
They can go back on the tapes and look for her and follow her by camera through the store on previous visits, yes. If she told the police or Walmart loss prevention officer then you bet they will look the tapes over.
The amount of stuff taken will bear out in the determination if misdemeanor or felony. Misdemeanor could still land her in the county jail for 4-6 months.
What is going to happen to her? Would they charge her with only the stuff that she stole that day? can walmart charge her a felony if they brign all the other stuff she has stolen before she got caught? She lives in GA.

Inflation rate in Alfonland is 3,100% per year. Which of the following is an example of the cost of inflation?
a.A clothing store has to change the price tags more frequently on goods sold in the store.
b.People stop at the gas station each day to refuel, even if their cars%26#039; gas tanks are almost full.
c.There is an unintended redistribution of wealth from lenders to borrowers.
d.All three scenarios are correct.|||the answer is d.
It is a because stores would have to change their tags almost daily.
It is b because when people know that gas is going to cost more tomorrow they are more likely to buy more today, while it is cheaper.

Help shes worried?
Yesterday we went to the mall and my friend stoled some earrings from Claire%26#039;s and the lady in the register saw her from the mirror :S and she came over by her but by that time she had it in her pocket then i went to pay and so she came to pay for me and my friend left and when i payed she said
changing price tags is a thieft too.
and im like i didnt do anything and shes like i kno but if u hang out with ppl like dat ur gonna go to jail too.
and im like okay..
and shes like i was just bragging about how i ddidnt have to take anyone to jail this week and then i left and looked for her and i found her and she was crying and she said she was sorry and she threw the earring in the trash bcuz she was very upset of what she did..
do u think she will get caught
cuz after that we stayed in the mall for like 1 hour and no one did anything
do u think the cops will do anything|||No, I don%26#039;t think that anything will happen in this case to do with the police. If the woman in the shop was going to do anything she would of called them immeadietly.
I also doubt that you would be arrested too. The woman was probably just trying to scare you.
Your friend seems to regret what she did and maybe was just trying it out and didn%26#039;t like it.
However, I would make sure that you keep an eye on her to make sure that she doesn%26#039;t do it again, for her sake, as this could end her in alot of trouble, and if your very very unlucky you too although this is as i said unlikely.
You seem like a good friend to be concerned about your mate like this. I%26#039;m sure everything will be fine.
If you want help I would maybe tell your parents or an older sister or brother who you trust.
I wouldn%26#039;t tell any friends who you are not 100% trustworthy of just incase they tell someone else and a rumour gets strted which will only upset your friend more. She deserves the chance to make up for what she did as she only did it once. If she did it alot then things would be different.
I hope I was able to help Ana

Another interesting story,how about this one?i need compliment and will tell more...?
a man runs a clothes shop , but the business is not good. there are not many people visiting his shop. one day he wanted to sell a lady’s coat which was worth 50rmb , but nobody like it, because they thought cheap things might not be good enough. the man got more worried . suddenly he came up with a strange idea. he took off the 50 rmb price tag from the coat, and then put on a new price tag which said 500 yuan instead! so it made this coat the most expnsive one in the shop. just after he finished changing price tags, a fashionable woman came in and looked at the coat briefly and said to the shop owner,”i take this coat.” what the woman said surely made the shop owner surprised and happy. “this is the right fool i am waiting for!” he said to himself.|||funny|||then what ?

Why is sales tax never shown on the retail price?
What it says on the title. I mean, sales tax where I%26#039;m from is 10%, but it WILL change eventually and I hated doing the math when I went to buy something.
Example: 2 years ago (I think)
Wow, this video game is $34.99, now to just get out my piece of paper and pen, multiply the price by .09, add the price, and $38.14!!!
I mean, in other countries, the sales tax is usually already added on the price tag.|||Manufacturers send their merchandise all over the country. Sales tax is different in each state. This is why there is no tax on the price tag. If your tax is 10%, move the decimal place over to the left one number, and add that to your price. So... for $34.99, the tax would be 3.50. Ten percent is easy to figure out.|||Generally, you will see the sales tax on a receipt but on the bottom of the receipt, if the item is subject to sales tax.

Is it legal to price change at the till?
It was my daughters 7th bday yesterday she was given money to go shopping. I took her to a sports shop where she selected a few items to the amount she could afford. When she took these items to the till the guy ripped of the tags and said the price had gone back up which my daughter could no longer afford there was more jkts on the rail at that price is this legal ?|||All above answers re invitation to treat are correct - if this was anything other than a one off mistake though, for example it often happened in that shop to try to make you pay more, then the practice would fall foul of trading standards law.|||Under contract law, the invitation to treat is made at the till and the shop can then determine the price for the items.
However, business to consumer transactions are governed by overriding legislation, formerly the Consumer Protection Act and the Trade Descriptions Act but now the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

You can take an item to the till and offer a lower amount for it, once the seller agrees and you pay for it the contract is formed %26gt; the seller can not later on demand more money even if he feels the item was wrongly priced.

Can price tags with bar codes set off alarms?
I got into an argument with my friend the other day after the alarm went of on someone in the library while we were in there doing a project. I told him that the books had a magnet that sets off the alarm. He told me that the security thing was a metal detector which made me burst out laughing. So we went to a computer to search online so I could prove to him that I was right and it came up with this website.

On the website it talks about the magnetic sensors so I was right. But it also takes about disposible tags like price tags on clothes and such. Do these tags with the bar codes really set off sensors. My friend changed his argument saying the books barcode sets it off because you can%26#039;t see the magnet in the book. I think they are in the spine or something but i must be correct right? I want to ask the librarian but she probably things im planning to steal a book.|||You%26#039;re both right. It%26#039;s connected to the barcode, but there is also a magnetic device within the barcode/label/tag itself.|||First, everything except cloth can hold a small magnet charge set by the security magnetizer witch if the item is still charged, it will set off the alarm. So, no your friend is not right. It is just a small charge that attracts to the book that is pulled off when passed over a demagnetizer. The thing that goes in the clothes is the real magnet in the detector. This is placed there because cloth can%26#039;t hold charges. So, in the end, you are the right person.|||magnet barcodes are in the spine or in the middle of a book, it is set on by a magnetic cube in the library.it can be turned on or off by the librarian.|||I think your right....cuz notice sometimes when u check out a book they swipe the spine along some sort of thingy. Its definitely not in the barcode|||Most places that have these use sensormatic tags or checkpoint tags. Sensormatic tags use radio waves and the tag is like a receiver. The checkpoint tags have to be demagnitized to keep them from setting off the alarms. Neither has to do with metal detection. All the tags are hidden in places where you won%26#039;t know they have them. The Sensormatic tags can be made to look like a label that belongs on the product or part of the product. It%26#039;s not the book%26#039;s barcode, but probably a sensormatic tag. They are flat and about an inch square. The checkpoint tags are about an inch long and about a 1/4%26quot; wide and are raised and usually white. They could hide one of the sensormatic tags up in the spine of the book and you%26#039;d never even pay it any attention that it was there.|||Many years ago when I was a college student my calculator would trip the %26quot;book%26quot; detector - even with the calculator off. I always had a big grin on my face when that happened, I would hand the calculator to the librarian and again walk through the detector and not trip it.
Depends on the library - it might be a special flat sticker inside the cover or a little plastic tag inside the spine, but whatever is inside, it has to stick and not fall out.
Plain barcodes do not trip the alarm. Wikipedia has a long article on this:
Electronic article surveillance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_鈥?/a>|||Hi,
In a sense you and your friend were both correct.
Library books are protected using a thin metal strip with raised pieces each containing a magnet. These strips are called tattle tapes, I presume because the notion of %26#039;tattling%26#039; is to tell on someone, and thus these tapes in a sense can %26#039;tell on you%26#039; if you pass through a detector with a book that has not been demagnetised by the issuing librarian.
Tattle tapes can be placed anywhere in a book by the Librarian, or the book binder. So short of cutting book to pieces you%26#039;d be silly to think I%26#039;ll just remove the tattle tape and nick the book.
Barcodes are used by infra-red scanners to identify a product. They cannot be used to detect a product is being stolen per se. However, clothing stores do use magenetic strips too. Some are obvious, like those large plastic things they have to unclip from the clothing. Others are more subtle and are placed underneath the barcode sticker.
Either way, they still rely of a magnetic sensor.
You could ofcourse demagnetise them yourself, although you may look kind of odd wandering around with a gadget powerful enough to do this. Mind you Ghost Busters were odd and everyone liked them LOL

Price tags sets off alarm?
I got into an argument with my friend the other day after the alarm went of on someone in the library while we were in there doing a project. I told him that the books had a magnet that sets off the alarm. He told me that the security thing was a metal detector which made me burst out laughing. So we went to a computer to search online so I could prove to him that I was right and it came up with this website.

How do I organize a Garage Sell?
I have alot of stuff to sell. How should I organize it. How much should I price things. I know to price low so they sell, but I want to make sure I get some good money for things. Also, my friend had a garage sell a month ago and said people were trying to change the price tags and stuff so they get it cheaper. How can I avoid that situation?|||Every item should be clean and priced. Use stick on labels as price tags. That way if someone removes it you can charge what you like. Always price items $1.00 more than you want. That way customer can haggle you down. They feel good and you got your price. Place like items together such as kitchen utensils, pots, plates together. If a customer needs one type they may just pick up some others. Sheets, towels and curtains are best if clean, folded and placed in see through bags with the name of item and size listed if applicable. Clothes should be hung up. An outlet available for plugging in electronics, lamps or whatever. Make you signs readable from a passing car and advertise in local paper. Good luck
Is it bad to change a price tag, I dont think so?
it saves you money and also its not stealing its discounting the item
for all the people that think its stealing
you are still buying the item

I am starting a merchandising business and need to know what should I charge my clients for my services.?
I have had several small business men ask me to come into their retail stores and shelve, price, etc. their merchandise with my four-man crew. The job involves setting up shelves, gondolas, and pegs, and stocking them with merchandise that the retailer wants to sell to the buying public. We will also changes pricing tags and clean up after each job. Do I itemize the charge for my services or be paid by the day or the job? And what price should I charge my clients?|||Very simple. If you are at the begning stage and want to win the competition so charge very lowest rate comparing to others. Ofcourse it will give u little loss but you will win the clients remember.|||cost or your materials,labor,time and your mark up write it up and show them before you do the job they have to agree it get a Signature from each one say ok|||Here is the answer to your questions, first you must find out how much is your cost per employee including taxes, insurance etc... Then you will know what to charge!|||Mark up the labor cost at 56%. pay + mandatory taxes plus 56% mark up.. Then charge for your time, at $35hr.
Is it illegal to change a price tag on stuff at a store?
Is it ? Example . you see something that you like it cost 60.00 but you put a tag for about 14.00 you pay for it then they stopped you at the door before you leave ? Loss prevention... they take your info but let you go .. why is this a crime? its not stealing ? ..this happened in california.. help thanks|||I call it stealing. You took something for a certain amount of money when you knew it cost more. So what you stole was the difference.|||That would be called fraud...
Or more specifically, theft by deception.
Ha, I got a thumbs down but I%26#039;m correct.|||It would be some sort of theft, I%26#039;d say. Because even though you%26#039;re paying for it, instead of taking it, you%26#039;re still not paying the full amount.|||WOW. thats stupid! dont ever change the price tag. and YES its stealing! its stealing 46 dollars from the store!|||Yes. That is considered shoplifting in most states.|||It is absolutely illegal.|||if you switched the tags, or knew it had been done, then yes you are stealing,.....|||Not only is it illegal, but the charge is serious. I hope you get caught and prosecuted if that is what you do. Or maybe you are thinking about it.|||It IS illegal and it IS stealing. The $46 difference represents loss profit to the company. It%26#039;s the same as if you stole an item for the same value. It was fortunate that nothing happened as a result. If it was you don%26#039;t do that again. Next time you may not be so lucky.|||It IS stealing.
It%26#039;s called %26quot;theft by deception%26quot;, and if the store took your info expect a phone call from the police shortly.
Richard|||of course its stealing. ask your mother again - she explained it when you were 3 or 4 years old, maybe you need a refresher.|||Uh yeah it IS stealing my friend.
If you have a car for sale....and you want $500 for it....I hand you a $20 jump in the car and drive off......have I not just stolen your car?.....or is it okay because I gave you something?
It%26#039;s theft by deception and it is a crime and it punishable, and you stealing profit from the store.|||Its not just theft, it can be burglary. If they can prove you entered the store with the intention of commiting a crime, it makes the crime a burglary.
This sucks for you because burglary is a felony. The theft was a misdemeanor.
I%26#039;ve seen it many times.|||That kind of logic will usually land you in jail for a long time.|||Yea, and you know it. It%26#039;s a form of stealing because you are being DISHONEST by removing the price asked for and replacing it with what you want to pay and if you didn%26#039;t know it was wrong why change the price at all?|||Ever heard of a little thing called a camera??? They are all over the stores. Soooo when you or whoever was busy looking busy changing a price tag you were being watched trying to %26quot; look%26quot; busy.|||Used to happen all the time when I worked retail. Sometimes I would just laugh because it was so obvious, and I%26#039;d say: %26quot;Price check%26quot; and they person would be so nervous, and oh big mistake.
So it%26#039;s the policy of the store if they do anything or not, and to what extent and if it%26#039;s on camera, then you could very well be charged.
Because it%26#039;s stealing.|||It most certainly is stealing. It%26#039;s like reaching into the cash register and helping yourself to $46.00 of their money.
Where did you get your moral compass???|||well the thing is..when u go to the register..they will scan the item n it will come up $60...i mean...u tried but didnt worked..so goodluck on the next 1 ;-)|||ITS NOT ILLEGAL UNLESS U GET CAUGHT

If we eliminate the penny...Wouldn't it be a pain in the a$$ to change every price tag ever created?!?
What do you think? Are you for or against the penny being eliminated?|||Yeah, like the Newzy chick said, North American plans for it do not actually involve changing the prices of anything. It involves rounding the final price. Say something does cost $5, in Ontario with our 13% tax that would total $5.65. If it was $4.99, $5.6387, so $5.64 (which goes to show, we%26#039;re already rounding, precise numbers DO NOT get along with decimals), in which case you give the cashier $5.65 and get no change, that is they round it up again to $5.65.
Yeah, I%26#039;m against it on principle, because technically every penny counts (every year I take the pennies I saved and get a new X-Box or something, $200 in pennies easy), and I luck the cultural idiom of lucky pennies. Which I throw there in the first place because I%26#039;m tired of pockets fully of change.|||I%26#039;m for it. I throw more pennies than I spend.|||No.|||it couldent be done because tax could be like 13 cents and what about 99 cent stores?|||I live in new zealand and we don%26#039;t have a %26quot;penny%26quot;. And no, they didn%26#039;t change every price tag ever created. If somethings 4.99 you just pay 5.. Danish or Swedish rounding or something.

I changed the price tag of this thing... wat will happen now....????
today i went to marshalls and saw this awesome purse it was 100 bucks.. i really wanted it so i took out the price tag of another purse that was 10 bucks and put on the 100 dollar tag... i did in a corner and i saw there was no camera above my head... i acted as i was looking at some belts and did it between them... so i went to the counter she scanned and i was ready to pay but tag was not properly stuck and it came off a little bit So she removed the whole thing and scanned it and told me that the original price was 100 bucks and that someone had put a different tag on it.. and i acted all shocked and told really r u sure and she said sorry so i said its ok and walked out of the store but im very much terrified.. i was very scared do u think the cashier would look into the videos and try to find out who did it.... or am i save after changing the tag i was in the store for 1/2 and hour no one came to me or asked anything... if they had seen me changing the tag they would have come ..|||What you did is classed as fraud and you could of been liable to prosecution. I work as a security guard and what might of happened behind the scenes is that the camera operator was waching you and waiting for you to pay for the item and then stoping you after you passed there last payment point before aprehending you. After passing a last payment point with goods not paid for means that you do not intend to pay for the item.
So what will happen now?
What might happen is they would take a still picture of your face and file a report on what happened and show the picture to all the security guards so when you come in next time they will follow you around knowing that you might do something. This is a long shot as it all depends on whether the guards saw what you was doing.
You should never do something like this again. Its not worth it belive me...|||You aren%26#039;t likely to get in trouble, but take it as a lesson. You got lucky that you DIDN%26#039;T commit fraud.|||What you are feeling is guilt and fear. It means that you have a conscience and know the difference between right and wrong. If you listen to your conscience like this and do the right thing you won%26#039;t have to worry about feeling like this again and you%26#039;ve learned a big lesson. If you violate your conscience and keep doing bad things eventually your conscience will stop bothering you as much and you can really turn into a terrible person. Take this experience and use it for good.

I found a suit that had a $10 price tag on it, obviously a mistake, but when I went to buy it, they wouldn%26#039;t sell it to me for that price. They said it was actually $300 and someone probably changed the tags. Are they supposed to sell it to me for the price on the tag or are there ways that they can work around it? What can I say if they refuse to sell it in order to get them to give me the discount?|||No, they don%26#039;t. If they did think of how much trouble they would get into with people just changing the tag themselves and taking it to the counter. They could be out that $290.00 multiple times and easily go broke from that stuff. They do have to honor ADVERTISED prices unless they post a retraction. That, however, is different from the tag because they have control over that and it would be false advertising if they told you one price to get you in the store then said, oh sorry that was a mistake. That is against the law.
Major exception, I know you are asking about clothing. What I said her does not apply to alcohol or tobacco, which is so strictly regulated that they cannot sell it below cost NO MATTER WHAT.

What is the best way to show a discounted item in retail? Show the mark down or lower the price as original?
I have a 10,000 sqft boutique furniture store where we do customizable furniture. We are middle to upper end in price. It seems a little cheesy to mark down items on our floor because we are not a discounter, but like all retail stores we have items that need to go. Do you think it is better to change the price tag to show the new lower price without any mark down showing or to show the mark down so the customer sees the deal he/she is getting? Thanks|||Consumers are drawn to %26quot;sale items%26quot;. It is just part of our culture. That%26#039;s why everyone is at a mall today!! Good luck on your end of stock sale.
Would being caught changing a price tag by security at your local Wal-Mart go on your personal record?
A friend of mines was caught not to long ago at Wal-mart, changing the prices, and buying them. That %26quot;friend%26quot; was caught on camera and was detained by security guards. They photo copied %26quot;friend%26#039;s%26quot; D.L. and took a photo of %26quot;friend.%26quot; They also recorded some of her information. They then exchanged %26quot;friend%26#039;s%26quot; with %26quot;friend%26#039;s%26quot; money back. And was told that %26quot;friend%26quot; was banded from Wal-mart, and would be arrested if seen again. WOULD THIS TYPE OF ACTION SHOW AND BE ON A PERSON%26#039;S BACKGROUND CHECK AND SHOW UP ON RECORD?
Please, yahoo%26#039;ers. I need you guys to help answer my question. Thank you.|||Probably not. Wal Mart is not the police department, and your friend is fortunate they did not call the police and have her charged. That said, it%26#039;s not a matter of any public record.|||yes, this would most likely go on the personal records, it also depends on whether or not the judge decides tho..|||It depends whether or not the police were contacted and a report was filed. If a fine was not given, chances are police were not notified. However, Wal-Mart could press charges at a later time. Business%26#039; usually do not wait more than two weeks to press charges (with the evidence obtained at the time of the crime). Also, it sounds as though Wal-Mart evenly exchanged the price of the items that your friend was jipping from them.|||oohh naww though that %26quot;friend%26quot; is a G for doing that.

So if a person has a change of heart and decides switching price tags is wrong and doesnt buy that item?
so yea she did switch the price tags then realized it was wrong and decided she didnt want it after all . The friend decides who had not know about the tags being switched do buy that clothing. But still the person that swap the tags was charged with theft do you think charges should be dropped because she did the wrong thing by switching but the right by not buying?|||I think yes, because the intent and the action is still there. There was still a purchase of the item, and the store was still in the position to lose money. If she really wanted to do the right thing, she should%26#039;ve switched the tags back.
Also...the store could not have known she wasn%26#039;t working with an accomplice. It%26#039;s going come down to what the judge believes to be the truth.|||At first I didn%26#039;t think %26quot;theft%26quot; would be the right charge, but in thinking about it, it was, in fact, stealing from the company. The switcher defrauded the store and almost caused them to lose money, based on the tag switching.
That is such a shame. I wonder whether theft will go on her permanent record? It%26#039;s so sad, because she seemed to have a change of heart and thought she was not doing the wrong thing. :(

Switching price tags at winners amd charged with fraud?
ok this is very very bad story. and i need really good answer for this.
i was with my friend at winners store. and while i was checking one of the section, my freind was behind me and he was changing the price tag for a bag which i did not know. and he gets his stuff and i did mine. we went to two different cashiers and paid for the items. while we were exiting the store two guys came to grab us and told us to follow them.
when we went in the back ofthe store they told us what happened and my friend qucikly accepted the fact he changed the price and said it was a mistake. he said he is willing to pay for the item at it own price.
but i did nothing wrong and they still charged me with theft saying that i was covering while he was changing the price. i said i did not know nothing but then they started to scream at me saying i was laing. i kept my mouth shut till we were relased and they called police and for my luck they did not come because of emergency. but on the phone police wrote down everything my name license number and those two guys told me that this would go to my record and i do not know which record. i am willing to fight if i am charged regardless what others say. because my friend got many itmes and he paid all the correct price except the the itme he got for himself. what should i do next?? where can i go to check my history?? i need advise on this.. what other charges they can bring to me????|||You were doing what was called blocking. Common practice. Worst thing for you is that you did not stick with him while checking out. Friends stay together. That will make it a tough sell. I would say, if you have no record, fight it. If you have priors, you are screwed.|||It sound like you were not charged with any crime. That may still come. You may also be sued civilly by the store.
Were you put under citizen%26#039;s arrest? How long were you held after you gave your id and they were able to confirm your identity? Were you held or could you leave at any time?
You should get legal advise. I have seen where the store can be sued.|||WEAR A WIRE AND TALK ABOUT TO UR FRIEND AND AND SHOW THE POLICE!

Have you ever changed price tags on clothes ?
the other day i went shopping at tj maxx and we saw this plain tank top for almost $20 and i thought the price was ridiculous for a simple tank top so i grabbed another shirt that was marked $5 and went in the fitting room and switched the price tags and never got caught. well i have gotten sort of addicted to it because now every time i go shopping there, instead of buying the shirt for the $15 it cost, i just trade the price tag with like $5 or $6 .. does anyone currently do that ?|||Actually the basketball shorts I%26#039;m wearing I did that at Sports Authority lol. And only have done that one other time, both because tight on money.|||no thats like.. scum|||nah i dont really wanna go to jail....|||nope. lol
dats smart though aha!|||Um thats illegal you can get in so much trouble for that. Technically thats stealing.|||yes but be careful b/c many places are aware of that scheme
u could also go to jail and have a record..its still considered stealing|||guilty lol. I did it at the tj maxx also|||No, that would be steeling..|||I used to do it all the time at this store called DEB which I absolutely loved. Then they got scanners and I couldn%26#039;t get away with it anymore so I stopped. It%26#039;s the same as shoplifting. Had I been caught, I would have probably gotten arrested and ruined my entire life. You should stop, it%26#039;s so not worth the consequences.|||No, karma will catch up to you someday.

What should I do? I was being accused of changing the price tag when I went sopping in its fashion.
I was shopping in its fashion today.Then, I went to the cashier%26#039;s desk to check out the cashier told that I will go to jail next time I do that (changing the price tag) I ask,What you mean? she said, you know what I mean, I said ma%26#039;am I don%26#039;t know what are you talking about.She said; it is illegal of changing the price tag. I said; I didn%26#039;t do anything.She insist that I change the tag which God knows I did not do it.|||It sounds like a case of a bad/rude employee. You have several options of what to do:
1. Ignore it.
2. Shop somewhere else.
3. Complain to the store manager.|||u should have told her to f- - - herself. they cannot do anything to you if they dont have proof|||I would boycott them. If you did not change the tag and you%26#039;re being accused of it, don%26#039;t spend your money there again. Spend it with a company that would be glad to have your business. I would also write a letter to the store manager and tell them exactly what happened and why you will never return.

Is changing the price tags at the Quickie Mart so can buy candy bars at a decent price a sin?
I%26#039;m tried of being gouged 3 dollars for a pepsi so now I pay 39 cents and 59 for the big slam.. In my opinion I%26#039;m doing God%26#039;s will in making the price for a pack of smokes under 2 bucks. Share your opinion of price gouging occuring in corner stores. Really what would Jesus do?!!!!|||He would pay what is owed otherwise it is still %26quot;THEFT%26quot;.|||yeah..its called theft of product and service.|||Jesus wouldn%26#039;t drink pepsi or smoke cigarettes.
The price is set, if you change it, you are stealing. Stealing is a sin.
You can try and justify it...but that doesn%26#039;t change the fact you are stealing.|||If they don%26#039;t know the value of their own merchandise they deserve to be cheated|||think about it this way if you change the prices not only are you stealing from whatever store it is but you are stealing from the rest of us. we have to pay higher prices because of what you and others are doing.|||Ok. I am a corner store owner. Let me tell you all about %26quot;Price Gouging%26quot;.
Do you know that I am forced to pay higher than supermarket prices for most of my stock? Do you also know that, after I pay my rent, power, water etc I make only 10% profit? It%26#039;s quite amazing how much it costs me to have a nice cold drink available to you in my air conditioned store!
Do you save a dollar in fuel and ten /fifteen minutes of your time by being able to come to my shop for what you want?
