I am not a thief. I am just following the rules.
The rules say you can only pricematch with a valid price. You pricematched with a price that was not valid. Therefore you did not follow the rules.
There is a slight distinction in what you did and, say, breaking into a Best Buy at night and stealing the camera, because in your case, a low level employee was tricked into endorsing your action. This might be enough to protect you in a court, but to claim that it makes your actions moral is riduculous.
In general, I am all for screwing Big Corportations, since they screw us all the time. However, you are most likely just screwing a low level employee. If there was a way for me to pull off this deal in which the CEO's salary of $10 million was reduced to $9,999,700 and the other employees were not affected, I would be all over it. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.
