Check Your Grocery Store Register Tapes After Scanning

[jay]

This happened to me this week.

I looked at my register tape as I was leaving a grocery store.  At the top of the list was an item that I knew was supposed to cost a little over $8.00.
The item was scanned and rang out at over $13.00.   I went back into the store and explained the problem.  An employee then went to the product aisle to check the listed price.  After a few more minutes, I was given a refund for the overcharge.

This probably happens to other customers.  Always double check what you are charged for scanned items.
