It is a big deal. He may have been the only person catching it and
there may have been 200 of them throughout the chain. That is a lot of
overcharging. The store manager should have made a big deal of it and
had it fixed immediately.

I pay attention to prices for that reason. I may be charged 1.29
instead of 1.19 and not catch it but a couple of weeks ago there was a
bunch of chickens at 4.89/lb instead of 1.89. Easily not caught if you
have a big cart of stuff and expect a $100 tab. You'd likely not notice
if it was $110.

Yes, mistakes happen, but you have to look out for yourself or you can
lose a lot of money.
