I have no opinion on this particular case, but I strongly disagree with the broader point you're making (which seems to be that commerce exists outside of the realm of ethics and that 'anything goes').

If a shopkeeper is distracted, you should not be able to steal candy bars with a clear conscience, even if you believe the price of those candy bars to be unethical.

Dealing with unethical people does not relieve you of your duty to behave unethically. And commerce is just another facet of social interaction.

That was not anything like the direction we were going with this discussion. I call Red Herring.

Paying the posted price for merchandise is always fair in Business. Some PC fool comes along with "it was posted below the other price, low down for people in wheelchairs to see. You are stealing from the unfortunate!" and I will call out the idiot.
