A couple of weeks ago, I saw some King Island blue cheese with a Special Price due to it being close to Use By date. Bought it.
Just a small slice $3.50 on special. Yum. I was eating it and sitting near the shopping docket. On it I see, it cost me $7.20 instead! Now, was that my fault? Should I take it back and show them? I thought I wouldn't bother, however, I decided to complain to them next time I was buying groceries. They, of course, blamed me. Why didn't I ring them? Why didn't I bring it back? etc etc etc
I could have asked them why they didn't believe me and subtract a couple of dollars from my in-excess of $100 bill which I was about to pay. The shop knows me very well. This is a local place from which I always make my supermarket purchases.

I vaguely recall there was a time when if you found an error, you got the product for free. Now, I would have returned for the full $7.20 refund plus the blue cheese and thought I'd got a gift. Now, that would have been a fair way of responding to me.
