    In Australia, if you see an item had scanned for more than the price advertised on the shelf, you get it free. I’ve seen it in action a few times in my life. Last one was a savvy teenager who saw his bottle of coke was higher and he called it. He got it free.

      No such luck in the US. Company stores are barely illegal here.
