Well, the gallon of milk is the ticket here, the milk provider is United who transmitted the correct info, only the supermarket to input them in the register at a wrong conversion rate. So yeah, the supermarket is responsible to cover the damage. Not the company. Seems a legit decision if they decide not to honor the fares since it was not like previous error fare cases where the company transmitted the information wrong in the first place.
