About the TIFU itself, I think it’s the clerk who fucked up. He should’ve clarified before giving the discount. So I don’t think your wife did anything wrong. When someone gives you a discount, you take it, no questions asked lol

The clerk should definitely NOT of asked. That's something that could easily set off a grieving mother or family. He did good by just adding a discount, and hopefully helping a family in need

There are ways of asking, especially tone of voice-wise, that may not have set her off. To be honest, a simple “I’m really sorry for your loss” would suffice, since she would probably have replied, “Oh, no, he’s not dead” or something to that effect.

In any case, worst case scenario it’s no-one’s fuckup.
