Marcus stops at the grocery store on his way home. He picks up rice, vegetables, chicken, and a carton of milk. Near the entrance, he notices a special price on coffee. He adds two bags to his basket and walks to the register. The total seems higher than he expects, so he checks the screen. The coffee appears at its regular price. Marcus politely points out the difference. The cashier asks a coworker to check the shelf label. After a short wait, she corrects the price. Marcus pays, thanks her for the help, and carries his groceries to the car.
