A few weeks ago on the today show they did an experiment to see if consumer would actually fight for there right to get there own price. Watch this video and see how NBC hidden cameras follows consumers as their overcharged for there purchases at checkout. http://www.clicker.com/tv/today-show/fight-for-your-right-to-get-the-best-price-1556419/
After watching this video I was suprised to see so how many people actually did not speak up and I wondered if I would of done the same. A lot of people in the video seemed to be in a hurry especially since the store was loacted in downtown New York but is that really an exuse to be overcharged. This video also points out how many people don't even pay attention to how much they are being charged at the chasier. For instance one customer checked her reciet way after she purchased her t-shirt and didnt even realize that she was overcharged. This was an interesting experiment, and I think if you know you are being overcharged do not be afraid to speak up even if you feel bad. So my question is to you, would you fight for your right?

In Response to Kayle Crowley
Would you buy one of the new products from Dunkin', or do you think that they are heading in the wrong direction?
I’m really not a huge fan of dunkin donuts, every since starbucks came along. I would normally choose to pick starbucks for a cup of coffee than dunkin. I’m not opposed to Dunkin I still go there every now and then and have been there plenty times before in the past. I would probably never buy one of their new products such as the new pizza bread sticks. When they first came out with the new snack wraps I even thought that was a little much for dunkin donuts to sell. I just think there is no reason to have lunch or dinner when they are known to have breakfast. It ruins the point of being a breakfast place. I think if they made their coffees stronger and thought of new ways to improve their coffee and other breakfast items they would make a lot more money off of those products than trying to introduce new lunch items. Lunch at Dunkin Donuts, just doesn’t seem right. I also don’t think the new lunch items look good or will taste good. They should just stick to there breakfast sandwiches that everyone loves.
