I actually don't disagree with you kenny.
I am saying it that way because part of me says "well, if this was the first mistake, etc., etc. maybe just bring it back and alert them."

You have no way of knowing if this this happening randomly to other people, who either don't know they took a wrong pill, because they didn't check, or they report it and nothing changes (because safety procedures go unchanged or not changed enough) or they just don't say anything because they forget to, etc.
For all the reasons you mention I think it's actually smart to report it to the agency/government.
ETA: and the thought crossed my mind, it could be a malicious person working behind the counter, too, even though that's unlikely and may sound over dramatic. But things do happen...
