First thing you should do if in fact the register is ringing up the price incorrectly is to tell the cashier at the register that the price at the cooler says $2.85. Make someone go check it. Then they will correct the price of the item. I am a military wife and believe it or not, our Commissary has this happen all the time. Why? Because the price has to be manually changed in a computer by a real person from one week to the next reflecting the sale price of every item in their store which is on sale or on clearance. Even at McDonald's they have to change the prices in the cash register for Wednesdays and Sundays so that people can pay 49 cents for their hamburgers and 69 cents for their cheeseburgers.
In regards to the sales tax statement, some states charge sales tax on any food item that you can take off the shelf and eat or drink it the way it comes packaged, regardless if you pay of it with food stamps or not.
