I think you are completely missing the point. The number of pricing errors today is considerably lower than 10 years ago. Why? Because prior to that code of practice, there was no incentive for a store to make sure the prices were right. If somebody called them on it they would save the 10% of the price or whatever. So even if I saw something come up as the wrong price, I wouldn't call the store on it because it wasn't worth the hassle of a price check for me to save 40¢ on a $4 item.
Now stores have to be extra careful so they aren't giving away free stuff all the time. It wouldn't surprise me to see that the stock people have incentives in place to make sure the prices are correct.
