I basically price gouge myself every time I used self checkout. I wind up scanning the wrong code and charge myself for 24 single bottles at 1.75 each versus the bulk price. Then the 14 year old kid has to sing in and fix everything for me.

Anyway, I doubt a large chain store would increase the price on a single item due to high demand. As everyone has pointed out, the internet is not only incredibly fast in it's condemnation, it can also be incredibly unfair.

I always thought the Home Depots of the world had some type of mother brain that managed and updated prices in real time? It is possible the system raised the price due to either limited supply or the bulk version was sold out.
