That's a heart warming story! That head office was amused and honoured the posted price. They would probably have been within their rights to refuse to sell. At least that is the way it works in English law. The price label, etc., is 'an invitation to treat'. That is it is an invitation to enter into a contract, not a contract in itself. Unless it's changed since my wife studied the subject in the 70s.
