This is especially the case since Tony and Betty were having their conversation after the advertised truck was sold to the employee, and Tony made no mention of this fact to Betty even though he was have to have been aware of it. He was using that advertised truck as a means to get Betty into the dealership and sell her another truck.
4. An advertisement is not an offer, but an invitation to treat. Thus, the dealership doe not need to sell the truck to Betty as she must be the one making the offer. However, the dealership does need to advertise the truck in good faith, so it must be available to the public and the price does need to be as advertised. Thus, while Tony is not bound to sell the truck specifically to Betty until she makes an offer to buy the truck at that price, the dealership must make that truck available at that price. Betty does make Tony an offer for that specific truck from the ad, and she specifically mentions the price. As no other member of the public has made that same offer than Betty did, it is likely that the dealership would be compelled to sell the truck to Betty under those terms, or being found guilty of having executed a bait and switch.
5. To avoid a bail and switch situation, the advertisement has to be true...
In this case, the truck was actually sold internally before the dealership would have opened, meaning that the truck in the ad was never even available to the public for sale. As such, it is reasonable to find that the truck was "bait."
In this case, it is reasonable that there would only be one of such truck since that is the nature of used vehicle sales, but Betty should find that at some point this vehicle was made available to the public for sale at this price. That was not the case here. The advertisement does need to be for a product that exists, is available, and at the price and time stated in the ad.

Bait and Switch Betty drove three hours in one-hundred degree heat. Explain if this fact has any bearing on whether or not the dealer must perform in accordance with the publisher advertisement The fact that Betty drove three hours in one-hundred degree heat is in no way a fact that can compel the dealer in performing the contract. The choice to dive was Betty's and the advertisement was merely an offer that
" As Ehrenreich found, in some case you are your resume, but in other cases the individual is clearly NOT their resume. Instead, looking at what the book calls white-collar life "at its most miserable and precarious" (p. 216), one can only glean that this is clearly not the place for everyone, nor is it the do all end-all of Protestant expectations of actualization. In fact, pining for that perfect
For example, Ehrenreich tamed her naturally assertive nature into a more tame and likable demeanor: one that corresponded with gender norms as well as with norms for prospective employees. Working with one career coach in Georgia, the author presented a confident, convincing sales pitch. She marketed herself and her work skills admirably for a whole hour before the coach bluntly told her without humor that she seemed angry. If
Mortgage Fraud If a rash of armed bank robberies swept across America next year, and if in these robberies criminals absconded with $30 billion dollars, one may be certain that a public panic would ensue. The banking system would likely be changed forever. If thousands of armed thugs went rampaging across the nation forcing people out of their homes, into the streets, and then destroying the properties, leaving the occupants homeless
1 If I were on the jury, I would work out the substantiality of the nature of the defect and the reasonableness of the number of attempts allowed by the consumer by following the guidelines of Maryland’s lemon law. As the Council of Better Business Bureaus (2009) shows, “the lemon law covers any defect or condition that is covered by the warranty, presently exists, and substantially impairs the use and market
