Do you understand why you had to make it a dollar store in your example? Do you understand why you had to reiterate "dollar store" three times in your example?

It's because without adding a reasonable expectation of item values offered to the example, it doesn't work.

Do you understand the reason I made the comparison is everything else the guy sells in not in the price range of thermals?

Let's revisit this:

This isn’t Cabelas or Bass pro shops

If you think using the coupon unacceptable in this case, why do you suggest it would be acceptable in those cases? Do you think taking advantage of a larger group of people is more "high-trust?"

Why isn't there even more of a burden to warn them? With the larger reach, surely they're even more at risk in a situation like that.

Do you not understand that high trust goes both ways? Do you think Cabelas and Bass Pro operate on low overhead and don’t try to squeeze money from their clientele? They’re publicly traded companies who value profit margins over clientele, they are low trust by definition.

Why isn't there even more of a burden to warn them? With the larger reach, surely they're even more at risk in a situation like that.

And they’re already a low trust business, they have entire legal teams (shocking I know!) that cover them on everything they do.

I know why you did it. But "it's a dollar store," sounds far more reasonable than, "the customer is expected to know the value of everything in the store," which is what you're actually saying. You're making something seem obvious instead of saying that you expect the customer to look through the entire catalog to determine the average prices of goods and what was added when.

And we're also not talking about a brick and mortar shop with a regular clientele, which is also something you added for extra feels. It's the same reason you gave them names. To project an image on it that differs from reality. We're talking about e-commerce open to hundreds of millions of customers. The scale is different and if a vendor wants to sell at such a scale, they need to be prepared for it.

If he wanted to be on a first name basis with his customers, he should sell in person to a local community. But he is not Jim selling to Bob. He's a representative of "ODGG, LLC" selling to the mass market. It is not reasonable to expect someone shopping on-line to know if a website is a 3 person company, 50 person company, or 100k person company.

This was the first sale of brand new stock the guy was advertising. It was clearly the most expensive thing he sells. The buyer was a patreon supporter, they also clearly know the sellers catalogue.

The coupon was for patreon supporters, they’re also clearly are the modern day regular clientele.

He gave coupons to a local online community aka his patreon subscribers. They clearly knew who he was.
