Actually, I'd assume that the receipt was right, then search the cart
for the item, probably find it, and call over the manager to get it
returned (assuming it was in good enough condition to return by the time
I found it). :)
(And they were very understanding the time Sammy was holding the yogurt
container and dropped it, and it cracked. I wanted to pay for it, but
the cashier wouldn't let me. Sammy doesn't get to hold the yogurt any
more, and he gets very upset about that.)
