Reminder to check your supermarket receipts
Was charged £1.98 today for an artificial plant. I never bought one, and certainly never had one in my trolley!I always itemise and total my shopping as I go along, and the bill (before the book of stamps) should have been about £25, but it was over £26.
As I try to calculate the veggies I shrugged it off but checked it in the restaurant while waiting for lunch. There I found the rogue entry. Also, I was only charged for 1 milk, not 2. After all the amendments, the shortfall came to my own estimation.
I soon got my money back and told them about the milk undercharge.
You don't half have to keep on top of these things!

I do most of my shopping on line, and check everything off as it arrives, any I do in shops I tend to add up as I go so I know what it should be when they ring it up at the tills. Doesn't stop some of them making mistakes though and our local morrisons is the worst I find.09-07-2014, 05:32 PM

Always check your receipt and always check your change!! Twice very recently I have been in a rush and stuck my change and receipt in my pocket rather than in my purse. On checking later I've discovered I've been short changed......so how many times has this happened in the past when I'm putting the change in my purse?......My daughter said " check and accept" which I'm going to try to remember to do every time!!10-07-2014, 09:23 AM

It is not just Supermarkets that you have to watch. We have a small general store in the village and they have recently employed a very surly teenage girl. On more than one occasion I thought I had been overcharged but, as she never gives a receipt, I could not prove it. Today I did. I had bought a pack of Wensleydale butter - price on pack £1, price on shelf £1 - when she put everything through the till and gave me my change I asked for the receipt. She handed it to me very ungraciously and immediately moved to the back of the shop. She had charged me £1:95p for the butter and was not happy at having to refund it. There was no apology. They have just lost a customer.10-07-2014, 10:38 AM
