i dont think ive ever scanned anything incorrectly. even if i did, it would have been a piece of fruit. in the case that anyone ever speaks to me about it in the future, i will just tell them "oh, oops" and then fix it. doesnt seem like much of a liability to me.

on the other hand, when i ring things through, you better believe i notice if a price is off, then i have them fix it if its higher than it should be and i say nothing if its lower. sounds like they are taking the liability as it were, which again i dont think is a serious factor.

    Is it EVER lower? Every time in recent history that a price has been wrong for me, it's been wrong because they "forgot" to put a sale into the system. But you better be sure the old sales are wiped immediately. I imagine this is because they expire automatically, but there's a reason the system is made that way.

    Hanlon's razor is reversed when dealing with multi-billion dollar corporations.

    Hanlon's razor only applies if it CAN be attributed to incompetence.

    When a pattern emerges of it only happening when it benefits the company, that stops being attributable to incompetence. It takes effort to make that happen.
