What did I do to deserve this?

So here I am, with a customer with only one item - a 12-pack of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. The circular shows as follows.
(In our area, Dr Pepper falls under Coca-Cola products, for some reason.)
So I ring her up, and tell her the total is $3.71. She throws a hissy fit.
Her: It's s'posed to be three bucks!
Me: Let me check the circular. *looks in circular* Ma'am, it says to get the 3 for $9 deal, you need to purchase three. If you don't, they ring up at $3.50 each.
Her: Then it's still ringing up higher than marked, I want it free!
Me: Actually, it rang up at $3.50 - the additional 21ยข is the tax on the item.
Her: That's fraud! You *have* to include the tax in the advertised price! Besides, you're discriminating against people who can't drink 3 cases before they go stale!
Now, as far as I know, there is no law in my state that requires the tax to be included in the advertised price. Also, I don't know of canned soda to go stale.
You'll never see a dark cloud hanging 'round me... Now there is only blue sky to surround me...
Okay, this is the second person who came up to me and did this.
Her: *comes up with yellow bag of M&Ms* Sir? I'm allergic to peanuts. Do these have any peanuts in them?
Me: *looks down at bag of M&Ms* *kerblink* Yes, ma'am. I'm pretty sure that the bag of peanut M&Ms might have some peanuts in them.
Her: Okay, thanks! *leaves*
The hell?
In any case, thank you for shopping at a place where quality comes first.
