I have had similar situations and have pointed it out. Once a set of dishes was marked clearance for $41.98 and it rang up as $1.98. We told them that was wrong and after a bit of back and forth we were informed that it was in the computer that way and we had to pay $1.98, so we did. I guess they forgot the "4" in front when they coded it in, but they were not about to question the computer. I would say you made the attempt. Now, if at the time you had realized that perhaps that was the single mailer price and not the pack, maybe you should have pursued it further. Difficult position.

I am out of photo mailers, so I go to Staples to get some more. I don't use them that often, so bought a pack of 11x14 for $7.99. At checkout, the cashier says that will be 54 cents. I say, that can't be right unless there is some really extreme sale. The cashier says it is, that is how it scans. Now the price is preposterous on its face, since I'm sure there is nothing in the store that sells for 54 cents. So, the question is, should I have brought it to a manager's attention instead of buying out the remaining store stock? Ken
