Our experience has been that about 30% of the our sales items will ring up at the normal price and we have to tell the cashier... Don't think it's intentional, but the computer just doesn't get updated in a timely fashion.
So, it's not just Aldi's...it's happening everywhere.

If that happens to you at Publix, the item is free!! I don't know if there is an amount limit, or other restrictions, but it actually happened to me on a bag of apples.
