why would I own up when buying a DVD that they get for probably about 5 bucks and then they charge me 4 times that? theyre making money either way. Some faceless makes 10 bucks off of me instead of 25-30 big deal. They'll live. Youde have to be nuts to think otherwise. The clerks will get paid either way so that is completely irrelevant as far as it being 'the right thing to do' The right thing to do isn't to overcharge your consumers in the first place. I know I have been ripped off by faceless corporations more times than I can count to. strike a blow back for the consumers, and take them for everything you can.

The average mark up on a dvd is around 15%, though after you account for shrink (theft) and labour cost, the actual profit is around 0-5% The more you "rip-off" that "faceless" corporation the more you'll pay in the long run.
