Let's say a product is in the wrong place, priced wrong, and a customer chooses to buy the product based solely on that perceived cheaper price. Does the retailer hhve to honor the cheaper proce? NO! It is not the law because an advertisement for something is not a contract.

Most retailers will honor the price however because we know that customers are usually whiny little babies. They will moan and groan until they get their way, spewing logic like "it's the law." It gets quite annoyoing dealing with these people on a daily basis.
It is the law that if a product - with matching UPC label is priced one price and rings up another - that they have to match the price on the shelf.

If Petco puts a pastel in with normals and has a sign with ball pythons priced at $xyz price - they have to honor that price. It IS the law.
