Michigan in the 90s had a similar rule. Customer gets 10x the overcharge (up to $5 max). I can guarantee you they fixed the price immediately.

Where I live there’s no such rule I can tell you no one is correcting the price when I point out that I got overcharged (they usually shrug with “it does that sometimes”).





"It does that sometimes." I guess for some reason the minimum wage cashier was not fully invested in maximizing the customer experience.

Somehow the entity exploiting both parties of the exchange is not actually present or accountable for anything that happens in the exchange.
