Reburying things feels respectful for the cultures who put them there in the first place. But we lose the chance to learn from them, and that's a real trade-off. Maybe the answer is asking the communities themselves, not just deciding for them.

Oh man, that exact thing happened to me at Meijer a few months back with cat litter. I took a picture of the shelf tag with my phone, walked back to customer service, and they gave me the difference plus a little extra for the hassle. But here's the thing, you gotta check your receipt before you leave the parking lot, every single time. I know it's a pain but those shelf tags are wrong way more often than people realize, especially right after the store does their weekly reset on Wednesday mornings. Also, that Ohio law about scanning accuracy, it's real, stores can get fined for it, so don't let them brush you off with the "nobody updates them" excuse. You did the right thing calling it out, and next time just ask for the shelf tag price or a refund of the difference on the spot.
