>I don't think charging $80 is evil, but it's a high enough price to merit some light teasing. To clarify: I'm just making fun of B&N for charging a lot for a book I wanted.
Is this really the bookstore's fault? Book prices these days seem to be set by publishers, not sellers, and those prices are actually printed right on the books. The book will cost the same no matter where you buy it, unless the bookseller is discounting it for some reason, but B&N usually sells books at full MSRP.
No, not at all. Like, this morning, my hair looked wild, so my wife teased me about it. It merits teasing, not because the hair was my fault, but just because it was funny looking.
Similarly, I'm making fun of B&N for an aesthetic flaw, not a moral one.
