u educate them.. btw (stupid question.. sorry) how could you get refund full.. Is there any law that store have to give free if they made big mistake on sale price? sorry.. I do not know about it...
According to devils_advocate and gackle, the stores' machine (system) can still make errors. That is real killer for me 'cuz I never check when I pay with CC.

Kroger will give you the FULL price of the product if scanned incorrectly. But only on the first one. They did that recently when I bought a tbone steak, MMMM love free steak!

There's no law that I know of, but some stores have policies that if the price is incorrect, you get the item free.

I once got a big pack of razor blades (worth $20 or $25) free this way.

Yeah I don't think it's a law, it's just what many stores do. They also don't know that I used a coupon too. So many times I get the full refunded price plus I used a coupon. So it's nice, but it's a pain too always having to check my receipts to see if they screwed up again.

I am not good at adding up numbers and keeping them in my head, but if you brought a little solar handheld calculator with you to the grocery store, it would make the job easy. I admit i've never done this as i felt funny using it with other shopprs around. Dumb, i know.
