Rectifying a check-out mistake

By Justin Weinger Leave a Comment

The other night I did some shopping at Super Walmart (about 28 miles from home).

I came home and was bragging to my husband about the good deals I got.

And while I was in mid-sentence, I realized, that there was an error on my receipt. And then I found two more errors! It put quite the damper on the thrill of my savings!

First of all, I got charged for two jars of peanut butter (I only bought one jar). And then I DIDN’T get charged for a small jar of Miracle Whip that I brought home. And then, they didn’t take off my $3 coupon for the Glade Scented Oils Warmer that I got. (Using the coupon was the only reason I got it, because with the coupon it was FREE).

The next morning I called and asked to speak to a manager. I explained what had happened. The manager apologized and told me to bring the receipt to customer service and they would “fix it.”

So today I went in to Super Walmart and explained the errors. The customer service clerk was very nice and after a few phone calls to a manager, I was given $5.30 in cash.

Of course, I went and bought $8 worth of stuff, but that’s another story!

Once again, it’s another lesson in paying close attention to your receipts.
