Hilariously Insane Overreaction-- . Woman Sues Walmart Over Two Cents When Mary Bach reached the cash register at Walmart with her pack of Brown N Serve sausages, she knew that something was very wrong -- the label on the product read 98 cents, but the cashier tried to charge her a full dollar. She wasnt impressed, and neither, we assume, were the people lined up behind her with their groceries while she haggled over the two-cent outrage. Walmart offered to defuse the situation by refunding the two cents, but the damage was done, and this grandmother wasnt about to take it lying down. jezebel Especially not with how long it takes me to sit up these days. The Overreaction: So she sued their asses over those two cents, alleging that it was totally intentional and they were trying to rip her poor ass off. According to Bach, the suit wasnt about the money -- it was about principle. How can you justify overcharging customers two cents? The kicker is that Bach won the suit. The courts awarded her $100 for her suffering and $80 for her trouble. On one hand, thats a trivial sum compared to the time and energy she must have devoted to pursuing it. But that is also 9,000 times the disputed amount, making this the worlds most successful and dumbest lawsuit at the same time. Getty Which kind of makes it the Walmart of lawsuits.
