They have to honor the advertised price. And they can't simply remove the item from shelves, or risk being accused of "bait and switch."
They pretty much have to eat it. A few weeks ago we were in an Office Depot and my wife noticed a Thomas Brothers (map books, for those who don't know) rack with an advertised price of $3.99. These are brand new books that sell from $25 to $30. It had to be a mistake. These were brand new 2002 books. My wife pointed it out to one of the clerks. And the clerk INSISTED the price was correct. Normally, we wouldn't take advantage of a store like that, and we didn't need a new Thomas Brothers that bad, but when the clerk insisted, we bought it for $3.99. The clerk that rang us up knew better, but she also knew she had to honor the price.

Even if wal-mart made a mistake like that, It wouldn't stay that way for long.
