I don't necessarily mean this to be dismissive, but it'll come off like that and it is what it is: Don't go through life getting this mad at something so inconsequential (five dollars). The typical response is "its the principal", but they're not beholden to your principals, and getting worked up because someone else compromised your principals is not healthy. Its just other people doing things. Neither money nor principals will save you from the downstream effects this attitude will have on your body and soul.

I get your point, but wouldn't that be exactly what bad actors want you to do? Normalcy bias is a great help to them

You're right, this is dismissive. To the point of being shitty. You're saying "don't have principles, no one cares." Well, sir, your POV is the reason we no longer have a society worth a shit. In the face of naked avarice your advice is to shut up and take it. Not to use social pressure to correct the situation. Not to stand up for one's self. Nah, just take it cause there's nothing you can do, you're helpless anyway.

Fuck you.
