I would call them and get an answer.

They list this as a committment:
# Ensure that prices are posted and items scan correctly; CONSUMER.

Unforunately they use java menus (not javascript) and I dont go there so I 
cant give you more info.

Ah.,..

Answers your questions.  Looks like Fry' is under no obligation.  If they 
are 98% of the time correct in an audit they are fine otherwise they are 
demanded to fix other wise face penalties.

They are required to have pricing error policy ask for it.

and DEFINITELY call them...

Q: Who do we call for advertised errors in pricing?

A: Call Us! According to law, a "person shall not misrepresent the price 
of any commodity or service sold or offered, exposed or advertised for 
sale by weight, measure or count or represent the price in any manner 
calculated or tending to mislead or in any way to deceive a person." 

You might not get the price, but they will probably get audited and stop 
the practice. :)
