I believe a more accurate description would be you have gone through the grocery store checkout and bought five lbs of a product priced by the pound, the posted price for the product was 3.09/lb but they rang it up using a as 9 cents a lb. after I used either a $3.00 off my total purchase store coupon or take $3.00 off the purchase of this product when you by XYZ. In this case the clerk mistakenly applies this as a 3.00 off per lb. rather than $3.00 off the total product price of $15.45 (3.09 X 5 lbs).
If she catches it before I pay.. I pay the difference
If she catches it before I leave the store area.. I put up a stink (ie, seeking something for the hassle) but probably pay for it
If she catches it when I get home or days later, well then, I think we have a problem with the store getting their money
