fasteddie Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Bought a few items at DICKs today . I was watching as the clerk rang things up . The item that came up wrong was some scent free laundry soap . It had a tag for 2 for $10 so I figured $5 wasn't bad and was going to get it even though I don't really need any at this time . It rang up at $7.98 and I told the clerk that it was 2 for $5 . She said , you have to buy 2 to get that price and I told her I didn't want it . I know it was only a difference of $3 but the point is , check the prices on your receipts or you might get ripped off . Same things go for clearance items . On occasion , they ring up regular price . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 3 bucks obviously isnt much, but its the principal of it that its bothering. Although sometimes the cashiers are given wrong info. I bought a camo sweater from gander a couple weeks ago that was on sale for 20 bucks and when it was rang up It came up as like 24 or 25. When I told her, she had no clue and fixed it right away once she confirmed it. 3 dollars here and 3 dollars there adds up so its always important to read the receipt once done.

Elmo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I once went to a restaurant downtown and paid the bill with a credit card. Bill was something like $85 or so. A few weeks later, I checked my credit card statement and noticed that I was charged around $120. I called the credit card company and told them what had happened. They asked if I had kept the receipt so that if they wanted to see it, I can show it to them. Fortunately the receipt was still in my jacket inner pocket. I told them I had kept the receipt. They said ok, and credit me back the money. From that point on, I make sure to keep all my receipts and compare it with my credit card statements at the end of each month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I won't leave the line, if busy or long receipt,the parking lot before a thorough check. We have an envelope for all receipts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 As I stated , $3 isn't a lot but if it happens enough times , it all adds up . Almost always if an item is listed as "2 for $10" you would think that 1 would cost half as much ( $5 ) , but apparently this doesn't always take place . The clerk told me that Wegman's also does this . I check my sales slips a lot closer now . Sorry if I bored some with the posting but I was bored . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptown Redneck Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 You have to read the small print on those "two for" deals, its becoming more common that if only buying one of the sale items a higher price is charged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that for years without incident and then slowly quit doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
