Paper tickets at work but change frequently. Had this happen a couple times. Since its manual we normally ask if someone updated the isle. I've had to respond a few times and had the ticket in my pocket still.

If there is major doubt though register price will be used, it's not hard for someone to lie or move a ticket.

Oh also iirc there is a way to check price history to see if someone is lying so that can be used too if the store has that in the system.

Best thing for any store is to take a photo tbh since its not just eink.

I don't really agree with this but its the way it is.
