Apparently some don't understand the concept of the nanny state either. Expecting honesty, ethical behavior, and good customer service has nothing to do with a nanny state, does it? It has nothing to do with an unethical world that some prefer to live in.
So, I was according to some foolish to talk to management at Sam's Club. But, if they don't drop the price, I will send a message to Amazon.com.mx and see how they react. Then a message to Amazom.com in the U .S. Then, I suppose, Jeff Bezos. I have the impression he is farily decent and honest. But, if I'm wrong, it's my fault.
I am so ignorant, that when I get a book with lots of errors and poor formatting I not only notify Amazon, and expect them to do something, I notify the publisher, who I don't really expect to do anything. Foolish me.

Patrickt, there is no reason for you to feel ignorant for your belief that Amazon doesn't take your advice and that (by extension) you are also ignorant because Sam's doesn't take your advice in telling you what model of Kindle they're selling, when - in actuality - it is your job to research the product if you're interested in it. These things happen. Ignorance, I mean. But, if you must, it's OK to feel ignorant. If you must feel this way.
I'm ignorant of brain surgery, but I don't feel guilty or persecuted (a designation I give myself and not you), for said ignorance. After all, you may very well be a brain surgeon, for all I know.
I also consider myself a savvy buyer. I research everything before I decide on whether or not to buy something. I think all wise consumers go through a similar process before any transaction takes place.
Cheers.
