Jared Works at a Store That Sells Hockey Equipment

Jared works at a store that sells hockey equipment.Jared is a salesman in the stick department,where he is responsible for placing price tags on the appropriate sticks.Recently,the store has caught onto salespeople purposely leaving price tags off of sticks until someone decides to purchase one,then placing the highest possible price on that stick,despite its quality,in order to earn commission.The store policy clearly prohibits this activity,as it is against the law.When a customer decides to sue the store after realizing he lost over $4999 to wrongful price tags,the store seeks legal advice on whether or not they can divert the liability to Jared.The advice they were most likely given was that

A) Jared is a directing mind and therefore can be held liable.
B) the indoor management rule allows the store to hold Jared liable as an individual.
C) Jared cannot be held liable because the damages sought are less than $5000.
D) Jared cannot be held liable because the courts will impose strict liability on the store for Jared's actions.
E) Jared will be held liable because stores are not responsible for their commissioned employees.
