(Sorry, I don't know exactly how it was done, but I do know that this actually happened.) I'm sure there are real errors also, but it's important not to rule out theft just because it's a credit card.
Watch out for the Cash back buttons also. Clerks have been known to select cash back on their side of the register and then pocket the money. Most customers don't check their receipts and they get away from it for a long time.
