Don't you get a register receipt? I check the receipt when I get
home, rarely is there an error but I can always have it corrected at
the service desk next visit. I much prefer to check the receit at
home so I can give it my full attention, at the store things move
quickly and I'd rather focus on the bagging and the ladies! Plus it's
easier and fasteer to have the service desk make the correction than
wait at the register for a manager to arrive with a register key to
correct the error. The last time I found an error was over a year
ago, I didn't get the sale price on a can of garbanzo beans, was
hardly worth the time and effort to get back 20¢.
