Just let me say, Do the math, keep your senses about you, this kind of thing has been goin' on since dynosores.

Pretty much what Jmen24 said...I work in retail, and the product pricing is based on the 12 character UPC code. It doesn't matter if the table at the front of the store says $2.49 and the aisle location says $3.49. It's what is in the computer.

It is not unusual to have a price change missed at one location, especially where there are multiple locations for something. What makes me shake my head is when there are 4 facings of the product on the shelf, there is only one new tag, so the person who is putting up the change just changes one tag and leaves the rest wrong . What are you thinking!

Unfortuanately, price changes have gotten way out of hand (IMHO)
