Some studies have been done showing that statistically, pricing errors are preponderantly in favor of the seller not the purchaser. I remember that any time an error occurs in my favor, because I usually don't pay attention.
I had this happen 3 times that I know of in the last 5 years, once just two weeks ago, where when my debit card is swiped, either the previous or next customer's transaction comes through on my card in addition to my own, or as in the last case, the transaction comes through and posts twice ($91.38).
