If anything, they've broken out the cases out of convenience for anyone who wants to spend $40 on water at a time. Which is all together silly considering that it'll take about six minutes to fill twice those bottles with drinkable water straight from the sky. |
Right, it's not gouging per se and you're correct that their single bottle size price is normally inflated anyway but it's just the fact that they put out the case as some sort of convenience for customers yet price it at the single bottle price. Again, it's their prerogative to price their crap at whatever price they want but it's the whole "here's an entire case to make it more convenient for you to get ripped off" approach that bugs me. Plus, I hate Best (Worst) Buy.
