If they could not show that you intended to steal anything, which would be unlikely here, then I don't think I would be concerned about any criminal charges. But they can certainly take you to court if they felt it was in their interest, but I doubt they would. If they can clearly show that you receive a value of goods worth over a certain amount and only paid $3 for them then they might have a good case.

You probably do owe the store the difference between what you paid and what you should have paid. That is true even though the cashier is the one who made the mistake. Your responsibility would be even more clear if you noticed the mistake at the time but kept quiet about it.
