pretty hard to charge you with stealing when you have a recipt for the fish. its not your fault the employees at that shop have no idea what they are doing.

EDIT: We all know what shop your talking about.....

I believe that under Federal Legislation the Competition Act prohibits business from advertising one price and then charging you another. However you've already returned everything so I'd just boycott the store if you're really unhappy with them.

post exact details of what happened and the name of the store warning others of their friendly attitude, if they cant hire people to do the job right they should pay for it not the consumer and im pretty sure if you have a receipt your in the right in the eyes of the law

Personally wouldn't do anything. Call me strange, if I go to a store and find I'm undercharged I usually say something. Sort of a Karma thing.

Side to this, bought a camera and couple of memory cards, camera was crap went to return the camera only, store wanted to refund full amount. After explaining the error to two different people that couldn't get that I was keeping the cards, happily pocketed the extra $80 bucks.
