Here in Australia, they cannot do that! Pricing policy is that you would get that first item FREE then all other of the same item at the sale price. so that if you had six different kind of items, wrongly priced then you should get the first one of each FREE! Most likely a goverment fine to boot! When you reported them to Fair Trades.

With scanners, you need to check that you haven't had multiple entries, I once was nearly charged for 3 irons when I had only one at the checkout. 'That's $124 please' and I had only out $50 note. 'Sorry the scanner was touchy!' was the reply.
