I agree with taking advantage of second- degree price discrimination. I also enjoy the bogo deals at Publix and it is the only grocery store I shop at because of it. When being able to stack coupons on top of these buy one get one free deals you are able to get two items for less than the price of one item. I have found Publix to be much cheaper because of these deals then the other grocery stores in the area. Second-degree price discrimination can definitely work in one’s favor.

Focusing on this amendment is important because it is a very disputed amendment still debated today.
A 6-3 vote in favor of New Jersey was all it took to strike down TLO’s request to suppress the evidence as well as her confession. In previous cases, courts have ruled that school officials were exempt from the restrictions put in place due to their need to enforce authority over their students.

This means that because they’re school officials, they don’t have to have as many means to perform a search on the students because students should have a decreased expectation of privacy. Their decision meant that the evidence found in TLO’s purse along with her confession had to reason to be excluded because her 4th Amendment rights were not violated.

Justice Scalia compares a pro baseball player stating that they participate and play at fields but are certainly not considered customers of the league (PGA Tour, Inc v. Martin, 2001). Title III does not require "... 'modifications [that] would fundamentally alter the nature ' of the goods, services, and privileges."

The Better Business Bureau is known for protecting consumers against unfair business practices (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2014).
