Moral dilemma about shopping

[Babinicz]

Hi. I was shopping around in electronics store and found an interesting product for high price. However, when I looked on their online shop, the price is lower a bit. So I would like to order it through their website and collect in person in their shop. I want to know if it is morally acceptable. Because they have this product in stock and I would be ordering the same product to collect in person in this shop but for the lower price.

Babinicz, I recall you struggle with scruples. You need to take these questions to your Priest.

 

[Psalm30]

I have a feeling you suffer from scrupulously…

Don’t worry about possessions.

Yes. You need to address your scrupulosity with a priest, not anonymous strangers on the internet.

However, when I looked on their online shop, the price is lower a bit.

I see this often. There is no moral dilemma. I ask the checkout clerk if they can match their online price. I show them their online listing on my phone if I can. Otherwise they can look it up. In my experience, they always match their online price. Don’t be afraid to ask!

I want to know if it is morally acceptable.

Yes, what you describe is morally acceptable. However, the approach I described is forthright – you are telling them what you want – and it gets you the product quicker.
