I used to work at Fry's Electronics right before iPhones were released and MP3 players were seeing better days. Creative had come out with a nice, $300 MP3 player and I was in charge of creating the sign tags in my department because I was the only one who could get it done the quickest. I would do hundreds a day, and sometimes there would be slight slip ups, in this case I forgot a 0, so there was a lucky customer that got a $300 MP3 player for $30 that day.

Luckily, there was no slap on the wrist or anything, the store manager knew that after doing thousands of these cards this was only one of a few slip ups I've made so they just brushed it off and moved on.
