I think it would depend on the value of the item and perhaps my relationship with a given retailer to be honest. If it was a $3 water filter from Walmart as part of a bigger purchase, I would probably just shrug that one off as cashier error. If it was a significant purchase, I probably would seek out the retailer by telephone and ask them what they wanted me to do. For a pair of socks, it wouldn't be worth my while for their error.
For reference sake, the socks were $5.95 a pair and the shirt was $39.99, and I still paid REI almost $100 for the other items I bought, but my golfer's warehouse bill was just over $20 for the golf balls.
