Seventy stores in 38 counties in NC have been fined for charging more than the item was priced on the shelf. Some were only 2 cents, some much more. That’s one thing I like about self-scanning, I can closely watch what the scanner is pricing. I tend to pay attention to the price showing on the shelf for the item. Then when I check out, I usually remember & compare as the register rings it up. If it’s only a few cents off, I don’t worry about it; however, if it’s over a dollar, I call the person who watches the scanners to assist in fixing the problem. I had one item that rang up $10 over the shelf price. Needless to say, the people behind me called me a lot of names that day. Funny thing that I’ve noticed is that I’m never undercharged as it’s always in the store’s favor.

Do you pay attention to prices & know when you are overcharged for an item when shopping?
