You are right on the company level, and it wouldn't be right.  BUT, there's a 
difference between a cashier missing a mismarked item, and the company 
deliberately mismarking that item.

My posts were less directed at the individual who was undercharged, and didn't 
notice it until later, and more at the individual(s) that advocated deliberate 
theft.
