Friday

Don't people look at the price on the shelf and notice that they charged them a different price at checkout? Obviously not everyone will write down every price and check their bill later, but it seems that a fair number of people would notice and complain or return for a refund.

If a store ever deliberately charges me more than they told me the price was (i.e., it's not just an error), that's a store that won't ever sell me anything again.
