I had a similar experience in a supermarket. Upon checking out an item
the register price was higher than the posted price. When I mentioned
this, the store manager pulled down the sale price sticker and told me
that price had changed. Same theory, different location.

There are few situations in life that cannot be resolved
promptly, and to the satisfaction of all concerned,
by either suicide, a bag of gold,
or thrusting a despised antagonist over a precipice on a dark night.
