I would always let the cashier call the manager and earn himself/herself brownie points by pointing out the store?s mistake (their job is hard enough). The fact is, that when you take your wares to the checkout, you have already decided that you are prepared to pay the asking price - or at least try to haggle with a salesperson before you go to the checkout.
