Call the store and tell them. This has happened to me before. They'll give
you the missing items. Once for me it was some meat and something else. I
sent husband to go get it. He wound up getting a refund on the meat.
Apparently they had no more of whatever I bought and they were trying to
make him take something else instead that was lesser quality.

I once rang up and put quite a few pairs of women's panties into a bag for a
man. He was buying something for a party and neither he nor the customer
behind him were paying attention when I rang up the panties. Our store had
no dividers at the time to separate orders. He paid with a credit card and
didn't pay attention to the total which IIRC correctly was well over $50.
What he intended to buy was only about $5.

I have also gotten home and found weird things in my bag that I did not buy
or pay for. Often it is candy. Once it was some eye product that was badly
expired. Once it was some sort of produce.
