	Bait and switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, courts have held that the purveyor using a bait and switch operation may be subject to a lawsuit by customers for false advertising, and can be sued for trademark infringement by competing manufacturers, retailers, and others who profit from the sale of the product used as bait.
		In state politics (e.g., Tennessee), "caption bills" that propose minor changes in law with simplistic titles (the bait) are introduced to the legislature with the ultimate objective of substantially changing the wording (the switch) at a later date in order to try to smooth the passage of a controversial major amendment.
		Rule changes are also proposed (the bait) to meet legal requirements for public notice and mandated public hearings, then different rules are proposed at a final meeting (the switch), bypassing the objective of public notice and public discussion on the actual rules voted upon.

		Bait and Switch, Barbara Ehrenreich's remarkable follow-up to Nickel and Dimed, examines life in the ever-increasing population of the white-collar unemployed.
		Now, in Bait and Switch, she enters another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed.
		Bait and Switch highlights the people who've done everything right — gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive résumés — yet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster, and not simply due to the vagaries of the business cycle.

	Guides Against Bait Advertising
		Bait advertising is an alluring but insincere offer to sell a product or service which the advertiser in truth does not intend or want to sell.
		Its purpose is to switch consumers from buying the advertised merchandise, in order to sell something else, usually at a higher price or on a basis more advantageous to the advertiser.
		The primary aim of a bait advertisement is to obtain leads as to persons interested in buying merchandise of the type so advertised.

		Barbara Ehrenreich's latest work of social commentary, "Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream," is an indictment of the "magisterial indifference of the corporate world." Posing as an unemployed white-collar worker, Ehrenreich adopts an alias and markets herself as a public relations person and event planner.
		"Bait and Switch" is worth a look because of the author's self-deprecating humor, effortless writing style, and compassion for the victims of heartless companies.
		"Bait and Switch" gets high marks for the author's lively presentation and style but lower marks for her exploration of an already well-publicized problem without offering a viable solution.

	Bait and Switch
		Even if they would have spent the same amount or less for the same job at a reputable shop that doesn't play the bait and switch game, they "feel" like they got a deal because the telephone quote or advertised price was low.
		Bait them with a low price, set the hook with slick sales scripts then switch them over to the higher dollar job you knew they needed in the first place.
		But advertising a price for a product or service as a way of getting people in the door for a different product or service at a higher price or profit margin is the very definition of "bait and switch".

	Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Bait and Switch
		She gets an image makeover, works to project a winning attitude, yet is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and -- again and again -- rejected.
		Bait and Switch highlights the people who’ve done everything right -- gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive résumés -- yet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster, and not simply due to the vagaries of the business cycle.
		Today’s ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding their “surplus” employees -- plunging them, for months or years at a stretch, into the twilight zone of white-collar unemployment, where job searching becomes a full-time job in itself.

		The precise tactics he describes below are not necessarily still in use today, though their modern equivalents are in some cases a development and are rather more sophisticated.
		The fact that the tactic of "bait and switch" is in use at all says a lot about the moral character of Scientology.

		The story opens with Wolf nursing a broken heart and an impending mid-life crisis, which makes the once-in-a-lifetime (albeit dangerous) opportunity that plops squarely in his lap all the more tempting, not to mention timely.
		BAIT AND SWITCH has a complex plot, but Brooks is such a masterful writer that it doesn't seem so involved.
		Brooks is in no hurry here; he takes his time guiding the reader through a few labyrinths, but does so with a sure-footed assurance that never permits the plot to drag or droop.

		"Bait and Switch" is an experiment to find out whether small, personal home pages and Web sites of large organizations get identical treatment from blocking software companies in deciding what to block.
		We collected some of the anti-gay statements from the home pages of four well-known conservative sites: the Family Research Council, the Focus on the Family, the Official Dr. Laura web page and Concerned Women for America (none of these sites are currently blocked by any of the programs that we tested).
		The "bait" pages were submitted for review to each of the blocking companies (through anonymous HotMail accounts so that the companies wouldn't know the submissions were coming from Peacefire).
