do you check your receipts for errors?

I don't know if you all saw the story today about a Kmart and Rite-Aid being fined for excessive price-scanning errors, but it's worth a look.

I check my receipts when the amount just seems too high, but there are times I don't check at all.  I wonder how much of my hard earned money I've lost this way.

Anyway, the Kmart is located at  6200 Capital Blvd. The Rite-Aid is at 2850 Capital Blvd.  

Just thought I'd pass that along.

Yes, I check my receipts...Humans make errors. I'm accustomed to checking behine others all the time at work!

I check mine all the time and 1 out of 3 times they overcharge me for something..Not just at Kmart either.

a lot of times when u buy items on sale u need to check reciepts. everything is usually done with barcodes and someone may have forgotten to enter in the sale price for the barcode, so when they scan the item, the original price will come up. I ALWAYS check my reciepts!

i should check more often. i used to work for a large pharmacy chain and they blamed the people at florida office that programs the weekly prices. always had an image of someone slouched in a cubicle sleeping with his fly open and an open can of diet mountain dew. on the other hand, i have found prices on shelves and even showed it to the employee and a manager at times, only to be told they made a mistake and they will not honor the price on shelf!!!

Yes i check my receipts all the tme where ever i shop find mistakes all the time especially at grocery store some time things are scaned twice or more.

I have to admit I usually don't. I'm sure I've lost lots of money that way. I'm really bad about signing my credit card slips without checking them too. In fact I have one right now that I'm wondering "How did I spend THAT much there?"

with the way they now show things on the receipts, it is easy to over look things. why not just put it really simple like they use to? i hate it when i have taken a receipt to someone and said i think i got charged wrong and made to feel really lame because i didn't understand that stores register. maybe they count on that too.

I always check my receipts I will argue over a penny.

I squint and stare at the receipt trying to look intelligent and discriminating while I think about how good the beer is going to taste when I finally get to open it.

I check every time, Food Lion is notorious for one price at the shelf and another price at the register. Last week in the deli dept the they had the in store special on smithfield ham at 1 lb for $ 1.99 so I got 2 lbs, When I got to the register it rang up at $14.00 +, When I told the cashier of the error she said "Oh no this ham is not on sale", I informed her it was the in-store special and the was a sign on the counter saying so, again she tried to tell me it was not the ham on sale, now the line is backing up and people are getting restless, but I did not care, we are talking about a $ 10.00 error here, so I had her get the supervisor and again I was told that this particular ham was not the one on sale. So now I'm p'd off, I said to the supervisor, Look, the sign says, special, ham, $1.99 lb. I asked the lady for 2 lbs of the $1.99 ham, this is what she gave me, so she went back to the deli then returned and voided the 14 bucks and apologized for the mistake. Huge Hassle!
