Mistakes are made everywhere. It's good to have protections that penalize a merchant for incorrect prices but fair is fair. IMO, if it is caught at the register before you pay there is no harm in it. I would like to see what the law says in this case because theoritically you could get a $2999.99 flat screen tv for free because they had a sign wrong that said $2999.95.
As far as the higher prices on the eggs milk and bread go, the prices are high so that they can sell the loss leaders at a lower price. There are items that attract people there that they will sell near or below cost just to get people in. They make up for it by selling the eggs, milk, and bread at a higher price. Nearly everyone gets that stuff and they might as well get it there while they are getting the stuff on sale.
