If you want to take the candy, do you have to take all of it, or have you been given permission to just take the five pieces that you want?


So does the candy come in pack of 10s?

Cuz if it is , i dont think you can separate it to take only 5. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960590.page GMT A question about buying candy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960612.page GMT A question about buying candy

No. If you go in and you have the money, you can but what you want and how much you want, in theory anyway. I work in a liquor store FTTB, and, assuming you meet the legal requirements to purchase alcohol, you have the freedom to buy as much or as little of whatever we have. Where do you normally shop?

Your sign is regarded in law as an "invitation to treat", not an offer to sell.

That means a potential customer may make you an offer, for example to buy five pieces for price X.

You as the offeree then decide whether to accept the offer or make a counter-offer. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960780.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960780.page GMT A question about buying candy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960781.page GMT A question about buying candy - The Emprah]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960788.page GMT A question about buying candy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/960808.page GMT A question about buying candy

Exactly. "May" is permissive, allowing choice, as is "can" in this sense. "Must" is used for ordering, or obligation, allowing no choice. Choice.

If you buy any of the candy, you must buy all ten pieces.
and
You can buy as many pieces as you would like.


However the right answer should be:
You can buy as many pieces as you would like up to the total amount of candy in the jar.

Also, there is no price listed so I will say that I may buy all of the candy in the jar and pay 1 penny on an installment plan over the next 1,000 years with no interest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/961683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255699/961683.page GMT A question about buying candy
