They pay their employees very well and are a demanding employer. IMO it's largely a cultural thing.

AFA this particular incident, who really knows? Have you ever had a bad day or made a mistake? I don't think it rises to the level of "warning" needed. If anyone thinks there's a conspirancy afoot, don't shop there. Geez!
Most stores, when they make a mistake like that, will honor the lower price. I don't think it's a conspiracy, but if they were very busy doing their jobs, the incorrect price wouldn't have been up there to begin with. So it should be their loss. How much does a dollar count against customer good will?
