I was in Publix the other day (the best supermarket ever for those of you who don't have them around you) and some old lady got all pissed off at the cashier for not giving her the, "Five dollar off thing on the diapers." Yes, she kept calling it the "five dollar off thing." The cashier just kind of stared blankly at her. The cashier called over a manager and the lady kept asking what these diapers cost and wanted to know if she recieved the disount for them. The manager said, "Maam, I don't know what they cost." and then the old bag gasped and said, "YOU don't KNOW?!" I was standing right behind her in the checkout and I wanted to say, "You don't know...Do you really expect them to memorize the price of every product in this store?" I really don't get some people.

I know, I will never be able to run a business.

I was behind a lady doing something similar in a Tom Thumb here.(I miss Publix) I called her a pain in the azz, as she was holding up a big line, over $2 I think it was, and wrote a check too.
I then apoligized to the cashier, that she was giving a hard time, bought my stuff, and left.

The same thing happened to me a couple months ago.
I got the suprise bottle of Aspire in the mail after my sample. Sure i should have read the fine print, but nevertheless those kinds of business tactics are indicative of the kind of company you are dealing with. Its a sneaky way to trick customers into allowing themselves to be charged retail price for a product they only wished to sample. Plus when I called the company to find out what had happened I got a lot of attitude from the menstural customer service wench in response to my bewilderment.
But I guess what goes around comes around, with their FDA troubles and all. Besides I dont see what everyone raves about when all this product gives you a two day semi, in exchange for a throbbing headache and a stuffed nose. NOT WORTH IT of you can get it up yourself.
Thats my experience with Palo Alto. Buyer beware.

It kinda reminds me of late night porn searching. I sign up for the 3 day trials of hardcore pornsites and then toss off and forget about my subscriptions. A few days later I go to withdraw cash from the ATM and 'BOOM!' I am being charged for the platinum porn club!

It just goes to show you that you must take your eyes off the goods once in a while to read the terms and conditions
