We do civil law (constitutional law, primarily First and Fifth
Amendment). As clean as hands get in law.

I just thought the greed factor with the client was a bit smarmy. I've
pointed out obviously mismarked merchandise to clerks. Not doing so
passes the cost of the mistake along to the rest of us.

And even if the price marked had been correct and the client mistook
it for the more expensive vintage (which I don't think is the case, as
I looked around with Google and an '89 vintage can be $200+), glomming
onto 4 bottles still shows a sleaze factor, IMHO.

It was a 1989 Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon.
The client is from New York, so their prices might be higher, but it's
still a pricey bottle of wine.
