Ok Since #5 ended up a lot more lopsided than I thought, here's probably a better one that might spur more discussion.

Situation (directly from a real situation posted on another forum I frequent):
You walk into a Gamestop store, to pick up Rock Band (full set, with all instruments, retail $160) for the 360 and Okami ($40 retail) for the Wii. You take them up to the register, and the cashier gives the total: $86. What do you do?

See this is what I think brings up the interesting part. Is it really morally wrong to pay the amount the cashier asks you to pay?

If you know it's the wrong amount, then yes. When I worked at Best Buy, if a price came up on the screen that seemed suspicious, we were supposed to get a physical check of the price by going back there and checking the price on the tag. Sometimes items would ring up for a penny that were supposed to cost hundreds of dollars. We could lose our jobs if we rang up something for considerably less than it cost.
