Maybe the miss got caught in surprise since she may had heard of the past prices like 100 yen or 79 yen, and she didn't realize that inflation may as well affect yukkuri prices. I do recall a time on which baby yukkuris were barely 70 yens or something, or some other price that would make them worth 50 cents (cheapest non free pet ever in my experience, yet being a yukkuri, you may not get what you want attitude wise with such price.)
i actually get the feeling that these koyukkuri are part of a stores 'do whatever the hell you want with them' batch. Thus, I think red ruins ideas for their eventual fate are some of the more likely outcomes.

I actually think she came in with a 'budget' of less then 200 yen, and thus, when she found out that the Patchouli is more expensive then her budget simply because of its type, she was surprised. I also get the feeling, due to the way she talked, that she's actually about to grab the Reimu.
I'm hoping thats the point of the story and we see the yukkuri find this out the hard way.
Basing on marsaki's previous works, who Miss Owner-to-be will pick will determine how this story will go. If it's the Reimu, we'll definitely be going for a ride.
Maybe the Owner is a normal one, then Reimu ruins it with her expectations of only sweet-sweets, fluff-fluff and being given a husband and allowed to have kids, she gets offended and becomes rebellious and more demmanding. The Owner have enough of this and either goes the violent route or returns her to the pet shop and make her case a moral story for the other yukkuris.
Unyu said: Oh, also there's something in front of the 200 yen that I don't understand. I'm not sure if that + sign is supposed to mean #,200 yen.
If it is, it could be that the yukkuri don't understand the number that high? Kind of like how in earlier works, yukkuri only understood 1, 2, 3, lots?
ParticleMan said: Maybe it's just a plus and Patchoulis cost 200 yen more than the cheaper types?
Having noticed that it is indeed a +200 yen, that probably means the Patchoulis is roughly $2 more then the others, but we aren't given the base cost.
So, the yukkuri could be, for example, 20 dollars for common types, and a Patchouli costs (very roughly) $2 dollars more.
Now the lady's reaction makes a bit more sense. If she intends to pay in cash, and (using my above example) only brought $20, then the Patchouli's would be too expensive.

Even so, I would wait and come back with the money, rather than settle for second best.
Another possible outcome is that like what JIE said, but Reimu gets put to sleep when shes returned to the shop.
