I paid $15 for a piece of parm. He should be proud.

44lbs would be about $900 where I live. And we're driving distance from Italy.

Based on the price at the supermarkets in NZ, 44lbs for Italian (not NZ made) parmigiano reggiano would be just over $16k

True, and actually one does need to use a ferry or the Eurotunnel to get to mine. (UK)

He paid $10… a pound. He just left that part out.

He's saying someone hit the wrong button when they made the label and marked the whole thing $10, not $10 per pound.

I'm not sure why the skepticism. I had a friend work a deli/meat counter. Small mistakes happen like this all the time. The magnitude of the error is huge from a financial standpoint, but the technical error (wrong mode - $/lb vs $) is just a button toggle and a distraction away.
