If the shelf says $24.99, but the cashier scans it and it rings up as $19.99, then I won't say anything. Likely it is a new price or sale where the staff hasn't updated the signage yet. I worked at Canadian Tire for a few years and there could sometimes be a tonne of price changes that would take hours to update the price tag on the shelves. Same as the weekly sales that started on Friday morning. Somebody was in half an hour before the store opened but sometimes it wasn't enough time to get the price tags on the shelves before the customers started walking in.
So if the cashier scanned it in and the price is cheaper than what I thought, I won't say a thing. In retail, if an item is scanned in, or properly keyed in, the lower price is the correct price. If the till is higher than the shelf, then the price is reduced for the customer, if the till is lower than the shelf, the customer still wins. Whether it is a store error on pricing, or the store is slow to update their signage, the lower price wins.
If a cashier gives me too much change back, I will say something.
