> Double-swiping the rewards card led to free gas for months — and a felony theft charge
The software worked as intended. What's the felony?
I wonder myself what was the thought process to charge it as a felony.
a reasonable person would expect the requirement of a payment.
once you discover it, continuing to exploit the effect to gain merchandise and not pay would be intentional
I hope Costco doesn't levy felonies for going through the free sample line more than once or I'm in trouble.
Costco encourages the sample vendors to give out as many as you want.
Her card was used 510 times over 5 months? Do the math: she must have been reselling the gas.
roughly averages to 3 times a day.
I was for her doing this up until the story mentions that she was charging another woman a discount to use her card to get the free gas... That's scummy.
