And I'm sure AC knows exactly which site the transaction came from; it's hardly a case of being caught with its pants down.
As for Ms. Gordon saying she "logged into the site the same way as always," that's a bit of a poor excuse for either ignoring or missing the fact that she was being quoted in USD. I'm sure if
24Left was making this accusation, there'd be screenshots offered as evidence
Carmi Levy is wrong. I think he is the one who got caught with his pants down. Why is this a news story anyways. You make a mistake, take ownership yourself. But with todays entitlement, she pasted the buck. AC did not make anymore $$$ for her mistake, only the credit card company on the crazy exchanged rates. So she paid maybe a extra $20, cheap mistake in my books.
