The deal is in our local markets (at least some of them) that
mismarked items , the first one is free, and the rest are rung up at
the correct price, so it doesn't pay to fill your cart up.

I did that the year the turkeys were mismarked.. Bought the 2 I
needed, got one free. Next day, went to the same store, and bought 2
more, again one free.

Yes, they had to fill out paperwork on that, so it should have gone to
the computer department to be corrected.

Then there are the stores that just reprice it at the register and
ignore anything else, hoping that the other customers aren't as sharp-
eyed and won't complain that the price is too high.

I once got a hell of a deal on beef tenderloins. I didn't even realize
it until the cashier rang it up. I had been on an assignment all week
and hadn't had a proper dinner with meat for 5 days, so I was really
craving meat. The tenderloins were way bigger than I would normally have
picked up.... because I knew they were going to be expensive. I
hesitated, but I was really craving and figured that my meat abstinence
warranted the extra cost. The guy at the meat counter was a teenager.
When I asked for two filets, he didn't know what I meant. I had to point
them out. I was expecting them to cost $25-30, but I didn't even want
to look at the price. I was just going to pay it and enjoy it. All the
way to the checkout I was dreading the price of that beef. Curiousity
got the best of me and I watched the cashier ring it up. It was less
than $6.

I might have been a little more conscientious about reporting the error,
but what the hell. The prices in that store are considerably more than
other local stores so it would balance out. Besides, if they are going
to hire people for the meat counter they should get someone who has some
idea of what they are doing. I don't usually buy meat in that store
because it is usually a lot more expensive and not great quality or
selection.

FWIW.... those filets were really good.

If I'm buying the item and need it, then I bring it to somebody's
attention, it will most likely be the meat department. usually becuae
it's mis-weighed or has the wrong tag on it ($.99/lb pork trimmings are
not $8.99/lb prime rib).

And I'll bring it to their attention even if I'm not planning on buying it
- there's usually somebody stocking the cases in the meat dept, or
somebody behind the counter.

I've never seen any shelf labels on processed food, center isles, or
produce being wrong. What they ring up as when you get to the register is
a different story.

Same here, but if they are wrong you get the item free (one per customer)
I've gotten a few things over the years.

Unfortunately, most stores don't 'inform' their cashiers of this policy,
even though they have it posted somewhere inconvenient. If you have been
over charged, ask 'isn't it the store policy to.........' Usually you end
up with one item for free and any remaining similar items rung up correctly,
but they aren't trained to tell you, even if they know it the policy. I
worked at a grocery store and the manager told us 'never volunteer the
information' like it would come out of his pocket directly. An educated
shopper is a thrifty shopper.

I never bother with the cashiers. I just go over to the courtesy
counter. They know the policy and there's never any problem. When they
determine the misprice, they give the refund without further prompting.

One store I frequent has recently put up a large sign just inside the
entrance.

When we lived in Hudson, FL in the early 90s, the Jewel store had St.
Dalfour preserves:

The price rang up higher than the shelf tag. Every day. sometimes
twice a day if I'd go in the morning and evening, they'd have to give
me that jam for free. Why they didn't correct the problem, I don't
know, but I got a bunch of jars of that stuff for free. It went on
for a week or so. Even with my wife being a PBJ monster, we had that
stuff for at least a year, probably two. I know some jars moved back
up to StL with us.

It's damned good jam.
