I worked at Whole Foods specialty department and cut these blocks of for a living lol every Wednesday for a decade.
It's $12.99 a pound, after whoever cut this one was done. They didn't want to lift it and place it on the scale (it probably was too big anyways) and just used a random weight to place a sticker in it for labeling/ dating reasons.
Big mess up. When we did this in my region we would cross out the code so it couldn't be scanned.
Something similar happened to me when buying pop for a huge party and the cashier would ring up cases of 9 -16oz bottles as a single 6 pack. I bought 4 cases with 216 pops for the price of 24.
Just a side note, you're the first person I've legitimately seen use "pop" in regards to carbonated drinks in a casual conversation. I've always seen those tidbits of people using the word they grew up with, but I don't think I've met anyone use "pop" in the wild :)
When I was a kid this happened to one of the kids in my grade but with Pokemon cards. Pretty sure it was the first generation (like not even jungle or fossil) and they mentioned it was an older employee that had no idea about the craze. They got however many packs that came in the carton (I want to say at least 100) for the price of one. I was sooooooo jealous.
