If a store employee miskeys the programming so that the scanner rings up the hundred dollar product for a buck, even though the sign at the product says $100, should you still take it?
NO ....I personally wouldn’t do it yet IT HAPPENS LEGALLY !!
But you will NOT go too jail for it .
LEGAL vs MORAL is the issue I make a point of.
No. but I have been ridiculed when informing the clerk a $3 item should have been $4 (or whatever). So I no longer do that; just take it for the price rung up.
Many times errors in pricing cannot be changed at the store level. Prices are determined by the data entered via the scan of the UPC and the price assigned. Registers will have a discount key/code not an ‘upprice.’ In an automated system, like a gas station after store hours, the retailer is at the mercy of the automated program. Was there not a double or triple check price change feature for the clerk to verify that the correct price had infact been entered...
