We will always point out when the error is in the merchants favor. A good majority of the time, they will still pass on the savings of the error to us.<BR/><BR/>And we watch to make sure we don't get overcharged.Chris Johnston.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07131649196771626440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-36541063589453978132008-01-08T14:36:00.000-05:002008-01-08T14:36:00.000-05:00I always check the receipts because the receipt is...I always check the receipts because the receipt is the only proof of the transaction. Eating out I have to estimate what I expect the check to be, and they never put prices on their drink menus so you get a surprise when you find out what it really costs. At stores I try to make sure things are priced as they say they are. Sometimes pointing out an error in the price gets you an even better discount on it.<BR/><BR/>It's not good to lose stuff. My wife lost her purse, had it returned. Then it got stolen and she got it returned again. The second time around though the thief used her credit cards and we had to eat about $500 in loss. I am very adamant about making sure things are put in a common place so they are not misplaced.Jim ~ mydebtblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831157334066115572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-6262887926356842582008-01-08T07:32:00.000-05:002008-01-08T07:32:00.000-05:00Yes I do check my receipts while still in the stor...Yes I do check my receipts while still in the store. In fact I look at the figures as they are rung up and then I double check my receipt.<BR/><BR/>I am always catching things like stuff that has a sale sticker on the shelf but rings up at the normal price.<BR/><BR/>The smallest amount I caught was 62 cents where the cashier swiped my tuna can six times and did one reversal, but I only had four cans, effectively charging me for five cans. I always buy canned goods in even numbers so that stood out as I was scanning the receipt.<BR/><BR/>A little bit over the top I know...but hey I am broke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
