The idea
Könnte (Konjunktiv II) plus jemand addresses whoever is free. “Den Regalpreis dieses Artikels” uses the genitive for possession. Der Gang is an aisle. Neben plus dative gives position: neben den Vorratsdosen (dative plural -n). Durchlesen here means to read out in full. Zurückgeben an plus accusative means to pass back to: an die Kasse.
Other ways to say it
“Preisprüfung bitte an Kasse drei.” – Neutral; typical announcement over the shop speaker.
“Kannst du mal schauen, was am Regal steht?” – Informal; to a colleague nearby.
“Die Kundin hat am Regal einen anderen Preis gesehen.” – Neutral; explains why the check is needed.

Watch out
“Gang vier, rechts neben die Vorratsdosen.” → “Gang vier, rechts neben den Vorratsdosen.”: Neben is a two-way preposition. For position (where?) it takes the dative, so the plural becomes den Vorratsdosen. The accusative would describe movement to a place.
