QUESTION
Can a cashier for a large corporation be sued for false advertising if they were the ones that sold the item?
Asked on Feb 24th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - California
More details to this question:
If a cashier sells an item that was rung up at a higher price than what the shelf advertised (in this case beer), can they be held accountable for false advertising? What if the cashier is unable to override the price of the item due to the company not allowing price overrides on alcohol or allowing the price tag to be pulled/changed until they send a price label?

The cashier cannot be held liable however the company she works for has probably violated several consumer protection statutes.

I do not see how the cashier can be liable for false advertising in these facts. If it were intentional, perhaps fraud or theft, but not false adv.

I don't see how it is the cashier's fault and should not be liable for it.
