Went to a nearby podunk grocery store that was severely understaffed. Saw a great price on an item---can't remember what---put three in my cart, saw the long line at the single register, and decided to use the self-checkout. Rang the item up, and of course I was overcharged. Knew I could take the receipt to customer service and get an adjustment, so rang up all three and paid.<br /><br />Then the worst thing happened---the robot register provided no receipt!!! I heard it print one, but it was stuck inside the machine. There was no store employee anywhere in sight, and a huge line of people waiting behind me. I can't stand selfish people who hold up others just to save ten cents, so I just left. Cost me over five bucks in overcharges alone. Not surprisingly, Arizona has no law to penalize retailers that overcharge.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974453598992131798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-53496863904430706422013-04-24T20:19:53.999-04:002013-04-24T20:19:53.999-04:00OK, now I will have more patience with those who s...OK, now I will have more patience with those who stop and hesitate before signing on the dotted line... thanks for MMT (making me think)... :)<br />Cheryl Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660384297963377495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-86377247636709031842013-04-24T19:50:21.390-04:002013-04-24T19:50:21.390-04:00Yes, the walk along the river in the summer is ver...Yes, the walk along the river in the summer is very pretty.

Then at a different store a couple weeks ago bought orange juice that scanned up higher than listed and again got it for free as well. It pays off to take the two seconds to check your bill before leaving the store :D<br />Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640043657989199884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-29516515475839903612013-04-24T10:02:22.827-04:002013-04-24T10:02:22.827-04:00Hey you two, reading your blog makes me happy!
