One time I was charged the wrong price for frozen turkey burgers. They didn’t charge me for the posted price but gave me all the money back that I was charged plus they gave me the item for free!!

I absolutely go back. Many times stores will refund the full amount of the product if it’s incorrect in the system, so not only do you get your 60 cents back, you get the product for free.

I ALWAYS go back. Of the places I shop WM is the worst about this! I hate to think of all that money that customers are giving to the WalMart corporation. Think about it: if 1 out of 10 customers is “accidentally” charged an additional 60 cents how many billions of dollars does that total in a year? I work hard for my money, I can find a much better place to donate it than Wal Mart!

I have had that problem at Ingles at the UScan. It never gives me the right change back. Even if it one or two pennies, I ask for my change. Just think how much money they make off of people if that happens even to just every other customer. So yes,take the time!

I always call once I get home since it is easier to get my refund or free food from a fast food joint if they get my order wrong. Then I can go at MY convenience. Now that is worth my 60 cents.

At some point, I have to consider how much my time is worth, a habit I picked up working in a copy shop (most people will forgo the price of a two cent staple on thousands of dollars, not realizing how much time they will spend accomplishing the result at home). I know how long it usually takes to get a price adjustment. If I don’t notice in line, and it doesn’t occur to me that my total is off, I usually just let it go.

Most of the time have 3 kids in tow – the oldest of which is 5. I don’t check my receipt until after they’re in the car and buckled in their carseats. It’s very hard to find the motivation to go back for the refund. I’ve gone back the next day for the refund though.

I go back for the money any time I can. It drives me crazy when I can’t monitor the prices because they’re already checking while I unload the basket. I know they’re just being efficient, but still…

Veggiemom: WM used to have that policy posted and in the past when I tried to use it, the cashiers would argue with me even though the policy was posted. They no longer post the policy and I’ve been told that it’s no longer active. Is that not true?

I’m sure we all could write a big article about Customer No-Service!
