You are a brave soul to ask a question like this.  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.

Here is today's question.  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?
