I usually buy so little at Safeway that I can spot a mistake right away with
the total. I did have a problem once with some 12 packs of Coke products.
I can't remember now exactly what the problem was except that the checker
seriously overcharged us. The problem was that she did not scan the UPC
codes on the boxes and instead scanned some code in some book. She charged
us for some sort of Vanilla Coke and that's not even what we bought. Things
like this make me really angry because I did POS work for years and when the
checker scans the wrong code that totally messes up the store's inventory in
the computer. And it falls on the POS person to find and correct the
mistake. But I digress... She didn't know how to fix the problem and the
customer service person had gotten on another register because they were
busy. She said she would fix it but I had to wait in *her* line. So I was
none too happy. Stopped in just to buy a few things and had to wait another
20 minutes because of a mistake.
