In Australia if the price at the checkout is higher than the price tag you are entitled to the first item free
Got a source on that? That's not what the ACCC says.

Fuck yeah!
Btw the other way you can do it (which will only be noticeable to users with screen readers) is to put the alt text between the square brackets.
They would have to refuse to sell to anyone. It would likely not be lawful to leave it on the shelf and sell it at the higher price to someone else who might not have noticed the discrepancy, until they fix up the shelf pricing.
Australia, the country the article is talking about. That was a quote from the ACCC website.
Downvote posts that consist mostly or entirely of an image of text but don't also include a transcription in either the alt text or the body.
Reminder that by law, if the price is listed wrong:
Sometimes the price of an item in store or online at the checkout may not match the displayed or advertised price in store or online. If this happens, even by mistake, the business must either:
- sell the product for the lowest price - either the checkout price, or displayed or advertised price, or
- stop selling the item until the incorrect price is corrected.
Yes, they have two options. Either honour the sticker price, or stop selling it at all until the price is fixed.
