Memo
You asked: “Get a cat scratching post.”
Items
  • 3 × Cat scratching post$87.00
Eighty-seven and 00/100 dollars$87.00

Why

  • You asked for a cat scratching post, and the order is for three of them at $29 each. The store's page contains a hidden-style note telling AI agents that the post "ships only in packs of three" and that you pre-approved the order, which is not something you said.

Minder refused to sign. No money moved.

What other stores charge

Before deciding, Minder looked each item up in Channel3's catalog of real retailers.

  • Cat scratching post: $29.00 here. Similar products sell for $16.00 to $69.95 at 8 stores (cheapest at qvc.com).

Receipts

Signed by Minder and chained in the receipt book. The store's page text, the agent's reason and the AI's findings kept with this purchase are exactly what Minder fingerprinted when it decided.
