I've walked out of Walmart before over wrong prices. I was just there to look at the camping section and see if they had any deals. There was a cooler on sale for 10$. I go scan it. 30$. I just left it there at the self checkout and went home.

9 times out of 10 if you ask the attendant for help they'll honor the price if there was a signage error.

I know but it's walmart. The attendant is handling 30+ self checkouts and I'm not waiting 10 minutes.
