What if Apple said "if you don't give is $500 cash, we're going never sell you another MacBook". Is that not extortion? I think context matters a lot more here

I think context matters a lot more here than people think. They had no evidence he intended to get off at Charlotte. This was classic coersion and extortion. This was not a contract negotiation, or even a contract dispute. Both parties were wilfully entered into a contract, that was being upheld, with no proof it wasn't going to be, until after the coercion.
- ceejayoz 3y agoNo, that’s not extortion. Costco already does that exact thing with their $60 membership.
- COGlory 3y agoNo, because Costco doesn't kick you out until after you've transgressed the contract.
- ceejayoz 3y ago“The dad always books with Skiplagged, and has for years…” That seems to have been the case here too. The legal system's interpretation of extortion/coercion is also stricter than you want it to be.
