Do those of you who check,your prices at the cash register and point out errors write down the price of everything as you put items in your cart?  How do you know what the price is,supposed to be?

@KathyPet

I have a pretty good memory .... I know the price of anything I put in my cart without having to write it down.  When I stand aside after my transaction and scan the receipt for prices charged, I know what the prices should be ... for every item.  Not a problem.

Wow.  Stunning to see the hypocrisy.

If one complains about over-charging, that same

emotion should be the same for under-charging.

Same/Same. 

But I have a feeling some will go down swinging with this ethical issue.

If I go to Ulta and buy an item marked $10 and it rings up as $8, I'm not going to ask them to check to see if there's actually a sale going on because I'm concerned about not paying enough. That would be the cashier's responsibility if she thought there was a problem with pricing. As with most people buying the item, they wouldn't give it a second thought.

I do.  It's only right. If there's a difference between the posted price and the ring-up price, it needs to be brought to the cashier's attention so that the error can be corrected.  Usually, I'm given the lower price ... and I'm always thanked for pointing it out.

@SeaMaiden Thank you! I am enjoying retirement from the grocery industry. As I said, I enjoyed the work for the most part. It afforded me great hours to be at home with my kids as they were growing up. I was a produce dept manager for the majority of my time. I collect a nice pension check every month. Grocery workers today won't enjoy those benefits. I retired only because the new management truly expected the impossible from their managers. I witnessed daily the impossible tasks our pricing gal had to deal with. No hours, no help, thousands of price changes daily, which requires making tags and signs manually, one at a time! Anyway, I was asked to come on, part time to train care givers. Lol, it quickly has become a full time job. I love it. I am state certified to train direct care workers to receive their certifications to be in home care givers. My company is growing, there is such demand. It's a new field to me and I'm learning so much. Outright retirement will be a few years off but I am enjoying this job a lot. I also have my volunteer work at the humane society. I've been doing that for 11 years. It's very rewarding.

Yes!  

If I point out the under-charge, if anything...

I’ll get MAJOR Karma points (hee)!

This isn't about grocery shopping but sort of related.

This spring I ordered five dresses from Nordstrom for my daughter's wedding. I sent four back and kept one. In looking at my visa, I figured out that they gave me too much credit. In wanting to be honest, I called Nordstrom to let them know. I was surprised that the person I spoke with didn't seem to care that I was calling to tell them they gave me too much money back. I figured that since she was representing Nordstrom she would express a little something more. 

I thought it was taken care of and then on my next visa bill I found that I had been charged for another dress.  Another phone call and I was told I hadn't returned the dress. Of course, I returned the dress. I explained that my first call was because I was wanting to be honest. She said wait 72 hours for an email and this will be settled. No email came and another visa bill has come with no credit and now another call is in order. And each time there are more layers to explain. 

I still believe honesty is the right thing for me to do but man, are they making this hard on me! It has become quite aggravating.

@Teddie

Oh, boy. What a mess. Hope you get it straightened out soon. It's aggravating and stressful.

I know how you feel - something like that makes you feel like you shouldn't have said anything to begin with...because it's now costing you time and aggravation.

Hang in there.

@Andrewsgrandma. You have wowed me!  What a wonderful career you have had and made time for  volunteer work too?  You should be proud of yourself. 🙂
