Why is it when someone pays over "normal" retail it is buyer beware, but when someone buys something for under "normal" retail it is "stealing"?
I couldn't even count how many times I or someone I know have paid for something only to get home and realize I overpaid what was marked on the shelf. It's not worth your time to even go back for a few dollars. I say "too bad so sad". Dick's sporting goods is called that for a reason, because they are dicks.
And before you crucify me. I have returned a camera worth $300 dollars because of a "mistake" of a warehouse employee.
Guns are great.

I don't think it is an issue of "normal" price, I think it is an issue of knowledge and intent. When the clerk doesn't get the right scan, or they ring up the wrong price, it is not intentional, they are not trying to be dishonest. If the clerk KNEW the price of a box of ammo was $9.00 and intentionally rang up $19.00, that would be dishonest. Same thing here. The friend KNEW the clerk had made a mistake and was charging the wrong price. And yes, I have pointed out to cashiers that they were undercharging for an item, just as I have pointed out when they are overcharging.
FYI, where my daughter works, and at my Mother's previous empoyer, if something like that occurred the price difference comes out of the clerk's paycheck.
+1 for the above post. Having worked 2 jobs as a cashier (pool hall and an ice cream shop back in highschool), the best thing you can hear as a cashier is "oh, you gave me back too much change, I only needed $xxx back" (or something along those lines)
Sorry, I didn't mean to derail this thread

So if someone else messed up programing the barcode scans, the cashier who rang it up is supposed to pay for it???
I've had it happen to me before where things supposed to be $19.99 ring up at 99 cents. Not a mistake of the cashier, they scan the barcode it shows the correct item at a different price.

Both Wally Worlds near me are out of every thing, rarely buy there any way, but I know a lot of people do. 
you would think they could restock a little better than they do.

Just bought 2 boxes of 50 rounds of .40 caliber WWB $18.97 a box, thats $6.00 per box more than two weeks ago. Thats $40.41 including tax I have Remington .40 cal ammo from 2002 with the Gun store price on the 100 round box---$9.50------. So ammo has gone up 28 bucks plus tax per hundred rounds in just over six years. The name Obama is not well taken in these parts.

The cashier is supposed to be familiar with price trends, and if a scan shows something unusual and she doesn't check the price, yes, the cashier is held responsible at many stores. An honest mistake is not their fault, such as an item that scans 19.09 when it should be 19.99 and they don't notice a problem. But something that scans at .99 instead of 19.99 should be caught. Of course, policy differs from company to company. Even at that, I'd bet that if you sell a 42" LCD HD TV for $4.72 because that is what it scanned you'd be in trouble.
I was at Meijer this weekend they had tons of 9mm, 45 ACP, 380, .25 prices were decent but not that good.
Then I stopped at Wally-World and there shelves were bare, and the store clerk was telling a guy that no one in the state could get hand gun ammo because of people stock piling. I had a chickle and sent the guy to Meijer.
Next stop was my local gun shop and his shelves were decently stocked actually more than he has had in a while. Is there more ammo on the shelves any where else?

Ammo at meijer
The Meijer I shop at sometimes has 7.62X39 Remington ammo for 19.99. I make a point to get some when I can just to encourage them to keep stocking it. It's not cheap, (costwise) but I'm just glad when they do have it.
