That's not at all what is happening here.

The customer saw the steak was a buck, called all his friends, and kept sending them to the store.

If you think that's the same thing as being accidently charged less, so be it, I most certainly don't.

Then again, I would not pay a buck for a steak I knew was supposed to be $20 if I considered myself a loyal customer, I would mention to them and pay the fair price.

Besides no store I know of would ask any customer to return a piece of steak once the customer touched it.
