they can be (FSVO) forced to sell the item at the shelf price for this
occurrence


my seasonal response to that is "Oh no they can't!"

see eg

I'm well aware of the rule for individual items

but the point about the supermarket is that nobody (except me) checks each
item as it is scanned through, so many end up getting fooled by this
underhand trick

So there really should be some punishment for the supermarket when they do
it (deliberately or accidentally)
