It's called Skimming.
How could they do it?
Once I bought a small squash should have Cost say $5 but it rang up like $55 because he used the number for small ornamental gourds! I bought two of an item on sale snd they rang three which if I had left the store I could not prove I did not get the third. I buy lots of canned cat food and count before they are scanned because they were ringing up more than I bought...just kept swiping cans twice.
