As long as my windows are intact and HBO Sunday is not effected by a power outage, I'm loving it. I have 25 bottles of wine and cognac stored at my crib that were intended for my cousins first birthday party that was moved from today to next Saturday. Almost done with my first bottle of white wine. Going to sneak in a rooftop jigga in a hour or two before it starts getting bad 

Ordered a **%%#$%% of sushi earlier today on some last meal #!$$ 

 Nothing but 2 sushi spots were delivering in my hood so I ordered some teriyaki and rolls for the fridge

My mom came into my house singing "Come on Irene" to the tune of Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners carrying a bag that she opened to reveal this, plus two bottles of red that are chilling by the window:

Best Buy in Howell, NJ

As hurricane Irene bears down on the Jersey Shore, the Best Buy in Howell, NJ has taken it upon themselves sell cases of Dasani water for $40.56. One of the DJs for New Jersey 101.5 just sent this photo to theCHIVE.

At a time when it’s so important for these seaside communities to come together to help each other out (maybe even lower the price on water, eh), it’s disappointing to see a massive corporation like Best Buy not only assume zero social responsibility, but also go the extra mile to make a buck by selling bulk cases of water at the single bottle price during an emergency.

So I put it to you, Chivers. Is this ethical?

UPDATE: I just called Best Buy and spoke to one employee and a manager to confirm the photo. Both refused to answer my questions and told me I had to call corporate offices. My response was, ‘All you have to do is deny that you are doing this. It’s that simple.’
Neither party denied it. Instead I was rudely directed to corporate and then they hung up on me.
