I don't know. Checking the receipt is what poor people and my grandma did.

>>10831796
i shoplift an item of equivalent value on my next visit

>>10831820
you just leave it to fate and trust?

>>10831796
Ignore it, I figure they undercharge me as often and it evens out

>>10831820
kek this.. hi from biz circa 2016 madeitfag

>>10831796
I go through the self-checkout always, so I can ensure each item rings up at the correct price. If something rings up at the wrong price I get the clerk to fix it while I'm still standing there at the self-checkout.

You can even check while using a regular cashier. Just watch the little screen as the items and their prices pop up.

>>10831905

So you autistically stare at the screen to make sure everything rings up correctly? Lots of store don't take off discounts until the very end.

>>10831928
Depends on the chain/retail system. I know with kroger, when the discount applies is a 'it depends' situation.

>>10831928
>So you autistically stare at the screen to make sure everything rings up correctly?
Not autistically. Normally.

>>until the very end
I've only ever experienced coupons being processed at the end. And yeah, on the rare chance I'm using a coupon I check to see that they ring up correctly too.

Why check later when it's more of a hassle to deal with problems when you can check while the items are being rung up. What else would you be doing at that moment? Playing pokemon go or some silly shit?

>>10831932
>>10831928
The discount applies to each item as it is rang up when you put in your Kroger card number at the beginning of the transaction, with the exception of those "Buy 5, Save $5" programs where the extra $5 comes off at the end. I used to work at Kroger. I don't know any other grocery store with a user discounts card, Meijer doesn't do it and neither does Aldi.

>autistically stare at the screen
Are you really that self-conscious in public that you think people are judging you for looking at the thing that is happening directly in front of you? You need therapy.

>>10831796
That happened to me once.

>check out on register
>amount to pay is suspiciously a couple € over what I calculated
>whatever
>pay
>get ticket and go home
>just when I leave the supermarket I check the receipt and I notice I got charged 2€+ euros on some pastries I didn't buy
>come inside again and talk to the lady on the register
>She apologized and gave back my money.

I don't think she did it on purpose, but the pastries that I got charged for were one of those for sale products that they want to get rid off.

>>10831945
I used to work their too. The whole 'Buy X get $Y' system needs to go because dump people (aka the avg population) can't understand it.

Tell me former Kroger-bro-fag, how far did you make it in that hell hole? Customer service was pretty cushy, got out before they made it 100x more bullshit. Was asked to become 'supervisor' and said fuck that.

GOT ANY STORIES? Did you have Indian people who would bring up 3 different gallons of milk and decide which one they would want at checkout?

>>10831945
>The discount applies to each item as it is rang up when you put in your Kroger

That's not my experience. Every time I'm at Kroger I see shit like "Total $19.52" then I hit the button to select a payment method and all sorts of wizardry happens and it says "Total $11.41"

No coupons or save $5 on 5 jew shit either

>>10831969
>he didn't join the union at Kroger

>>10831796
D. Use the self checkout and if I'm overcharged on something get the staff member supervising the checkouts to fix it

>>10831988
That's because you put in your Kroger card at the end or after ringing up some items, not at the beginning. If you scan the Kroger card first then the discounts come out as you scan, or if you scan items first then Kroger card last, and press "pay," then it retroactively applies the membership discounts.

>>10831969
I started as a bagger 4 months, then did cashier 6 months, then did CSM at the front desk 6 months. Also, I did Wednesday night price sticker overnights. That was a shit job and a fucking ton of fucking work, dealing with idiot customers, tons of paperwork, staying late, etc and plus one time we got held up at gunpoint and the dude only took like $40 in ones from the UScan terminal.

Overall it was only a good job because I was only 17-18 at the time (2010) and it was my first job. They had me doing CSM/managerial shit for no extra pay plus the union dues were retardedly high. If I wanted to deal with rude dumbasses all day for minimum wage and be forced to pay fat Jews for nothing, well, that's the comfiest way to do it I guess.

Best story I have is a really old man who had visibly shit himself in the store throwing potatoes because he picked up an organic bag rather than regular and didn't like the price, so started hurling b-size red potatoes at the cashier and other customers while yelling.

>>10832058
wrong. i scan my kroger card first thing every time

>>10832061
Well, obviously I'm not watching you scan your groceries so I can't tell you what the problem is. Could be store-specific issues with software. Many Krogers run on very outdated systems that are no longer updatable and so a lot of things get nigger-rigged to make them work and really just breaks things.

I can tell you how 100% of all Krogers I've ever been to, across the country, have worked and that's all I got bro.

>>10831820
Yup. I recently returned some faulty stuff, only to find out at the service desk that they only charged me for one instead of two. Talking about $20 per item. Didn't even notice at the check-out, although I had a vague notion that the total seemed cheaper than expected.
This time it was in my advantage, but if they charged me for three, I probably wouldn't have noticed either. I really need to check that shit more thoroughly.

>>10831796
i'm not really that rich and i still wouldn't care about 2 bucks.

>>10831796
Can you imagine being married to that hag?

>>10832058
That's why once I got to a comfy place, I stopped accepting 'advancement', because it was just more headache for the same pay and no extra anything. I flat out told someone that only an idiot would agree to that.

Anything good ever happen while you were there? My best two are 1) guy literally bought all the discount halloween reese's right when they went on sale while I was still a cashier, gave me $10 just for the trouble of counting/scanning them all. 2) When I was CS a guy gave me $20 from his western union pickup just for listening to him tell his story for a while.

keep the receipt in the car and get refunded next time I go

are you all this autistic

>>10831796
I wouldn't check the receipt until I got home anyway so it'd be too late by then. So I'd just say fuck it.

>>10832090
eh, she has nice tits and she could be a qt. people just tend to look ugly when they're not wearing any makeup.

>>10831796
No one is going to comment on what a comfy fuck the qt checkout girl looks like she’d be?

>>10831827
Now THAT'S justice.

>>10831834
>Uhh, I think you forgot to cook my sandwich

>>10832106
Jesus dude, I rather fuck my hand then that crone. Have at least minimal standards my man.

>>10832131
Than, not then. God damn it. That makes it sound like I’d be so down to fuck that ugly broad that I’d even hit it right after I jerked off.

>>10831796
>Notice error
>Go to customer service desk
>"Hey man/miss, I just noticed I got overcharged for X. Here's the reciept and X. Could you please put $Y back on my card?"
>"Sure thing, sorry about that."
>"No worries, thanks for taking care of that."

Was that so hard?

1. I get my gun from the truck.

>>10832093
You must be autistic.
>Yeah, hey. Turns out last time I was here I didn't actually buy any of this stuff you charged me for. Proof? Well just look, I don't have any of it as you can see.

In some states, the law punishes the store by making the item free to you.

>>10832092
There was an old man who was being scammed on Western Union that we had to stop accepting his WU payments and put a block on his ID number in the WU system because it was an obvious scam. He was a really old man who was trying to buy a mail-order bride and screamed at us when we refused to keep sending hundreds of dollars to fucking Indonesia for him.

Once a guy bought about 25 packets of manager's special sticker Buddig pastrami lunchmeat and all of the stickers were fucked and you can't do a quantity count on a hand-typed item so I had to type in the 16-digit barcode number 25 times to sell him $.19 packages of rotten lunchmeat.

Nothing good ever happens at work.

>>10831969
I hate Indians
>Pajeet enters store
>Keeps looking at me over and over looks like he's planning to shoplift
>Usually I don't give a shit, it's not my shop but fuck shitskins
>Asks if I'll take £12 for a £15 item
>No
>"But it's expensive" immediately starts trying to haggle
>No
>Puts his stuff back and leaves without buying anything
Good thing too, I didn't want to have to wash my hands after touching their money

>>10831796
I check the receipt after I pay holding the line and not letting people pay for their groceries
If they don't want me doing that they should invest in some capable employees that don't fuck up every other time I go to the supermarket

>>10832710
>you can't do a quantity count on a hand-typed item

Some programmer, somewhere, deserves to be shot in the face.

>>10831796
>Get overcharged by two dollars 2,000 times
Bill Gates would be yelling at you for being a fool.

>>10831796
I once got so fucking pissed at a cashier who kept telling me the eggs wherent on discount that I walked back to the eggs stand, grabbed the sign with the discount, walked back, yelled at the faggot and stick the sign to the wall so he wouldn't forget that the fucking eggs are on fucking discount

>>10832730
>If they don't want me doing that they should invest in some capable employees

I agree, turns out if you don't pay people what their worth they will find somewhere that does or do the least required work possible by shifting departments
>Pay people the legally required minimum
>Staff are double digit IQ stoner idiots or niggers incapable of math
>"Why can't I find good help these days? Better hire more Mexicans"

>>10832751
That's your problem not my problem, if you give me shitty service I'm going to hold the line with 20 people behind me and then you will have to deal with 20 angry costumers

>>10832770
>Implying I work the till
It's not my problem mate, I'm explaining why everyones thick as shit on the tills, anyone capable of breathing through their nose get's off and never goes back on the till ever again and that's everyone who can count
Why would I interact with people and work constantly when I can not interact with people and only work when the manager looks my direction for the same wage?

>>10832770
Why would you choose to punish an employee and a bunch of random customers who aren't the problem, rather than the manager who IS the problem?

I get your motivation, but your method seems far from optimal.

>>10832792
I'm not punishing anyone, I'm checking every item to make sure they charged me right

>>10832735
>Some programmer, somewhere, deserves to be shot in the face.

you mean india

>>10832817
Nonsense. You're punishing every single person you make wait.

Especially since you could instead check while they scan each item.

>>10832205
I did this once and the person was like "sure, whatever. Go grab your juice and i'll bag it so you can leave." I just left the juice on the till by accident.

>>10832841
>Especially since you could instead check while they scan each item.
no, i cant check the final ticket to see if they applied all discounts until i get the ticket

>>10832971
You can see the discounts on the screen before you are given the total amount you are asked to pay.

Or if you don't have crippling autism you can just ask the clerk: "you got my coupons, right" or "that bread was buy-one-get-one-free, right?" before you even pay.

>>10832984
>you got my coupons, right
the answer to that question is always yes regardless of them doingit or not

>>10832995
Not in my experience, but hey, what do I know.

>>10831796

>>10832735
More likely the programmer's boss who said that wasn't necessary

>>10831796
>Fuck it... it's only $2
For me, that $2 is worth less than not having to deal with the hassle of talking to a staff member, waiting for them to get a manager, and just waiting in general.

>>10832163
>go to shitty store like safeway
>no customer service
>wait x mins just for someone to show up etc etc.
Safeway sucks and is overpriced. Then they have shitt deals like the mix and match or buy x just to get the deal and since people dont read. More people think they were overcharged.

>>10831796
>B. Say "Fuck it... it's only $2" and walk out
That. It levels out over time because sometimes they're probably undercharge me.

>>10831796
all local supermarkets to me have a customer service desk to handle this silly kinda shit. i have gone up, receipt in hand "hey, such and such" and they just give me my money back because this is how normal human beings interact

>>10831796
You are at the grocery store and this guy grabs your tomato, what do?

>>10835019
That's not a guy, buddy.

>>10835028
i know

>>10832749
Why not just get a price check faggot?

>>10832735
>>10832818
>>10833712
It's disabled because of loss prevention.

>>10831796
>B. Say "Fuck it... it's only $2" and walk out
This is the only correct choice.

>>10831796
99% of the time, B

My mother will make a fucking deal about $0.25 and it's just fucking embarrassing

>>10831796
B. And if I'm given $2 too much change I will immediately turn around and hand it back.

If I'm consistently overcharged by the same place I will probably keep a record and make it public in an attempt to spoil their reputation. I don't mind a mistake, but I do not like to be taken advantage of.

Shoot the cashier for having violated the NAP

>>10831796
>that boomer bitch that leaves her groceries in the basket and doesn’t lay them out on the conveyor
jesus

>>10832106
>eh, she has nice tits
The only thing holding them together is her bra. Once that slips off they'll look like aged bags of dough

>>10832131
>>10837441
the angle is unflattering, angry expression distorts her facial features and she's not wearing any makeup.

she could look pretty in a different situation.

>>10837463
Give up

>>10837463
they really nailed the checkout girl aesthetic for a stock photo

>>10831820
It's not poor, it's being aware of the money you spent. If you never checked you are probably a neet and still asking your parents for moneys

It's cool to pretend like a rich guy on 4chan, we have all done that

Depends how much it costs. If it's substantial, I'll go to customer service and complain, otherwise, I ain't sweatin' a couple dollars.
My state has strict bait-and-switch laws protecting consumers. As a result, in order to protect themselves from getting fucked in the dickhole by the state attorney general's office, nearly all stores here will give you the item either for free or at a deep discount if you already paid for it and the receipt price is higher than the shelf price. Back in... September, I think? One store chain here was overcharging for Coke products for a few days because of an error someone made with adding the price to the POS system v the shelf price (IIRC, shelves said they were supposed to be 20% off, but the POS said it was 20¢ off). Anyone who had a receipt from those dates that had Coke products on it was entitled to a full refund and allowed to keep the product.
Because of the whole "price wrong, you get it free!" thing, I once got a whole beef tenderloin gratis. Rang up for $80 (was supposed to be $60), but I kept my mouth shut until I paid for it then took the receipt to CS, waited for them to confirm the shelf price and got my $60 refund.

Tell us more about your people.

>>10831796
I regularly argue with customer service about my receipt, and they pretty much always give me what I want. Why wouldn't I?

>>10831796
I got overcharged by $4 on something a few months ago. I emailed the store manager to complain, he said stop at the customer service desk for either a credit or a refund or free stuff

my indignation satisfied, I basically stopped caring and never bothered to stop at customer service

I mean for $4 it’s hardly worth it, I just don’t like getting screwed on stuff in principle

>>10831796
If your answer isnt B you are poor, my hourly divided by the time it will take arguing is vastly more than 2 dollars.

>>10837847
I can see how you'd think this is a conniving Jew thing, but that wasn't it at all. The store was busy. There were people behind me. I didn't want to inconvenience them while the cashier called the manager over then the stock people to check the price then the manager to override the tenderloin when all everyone at the store wants to do is pay for their shit and GTFO and go home. I don't know about you, but I don't like being the inconsiderate prick who holds everyone else up.

>>10837885
>he said stop at the customer service desk for either a credit or a refund or free stuff

I'm sure whoever the kid is working customer service would look at you like you had two heads when if you showed up to "pick up your free stuff".

>"Oh, I emailed the store"
>ummm... I'm going to have to get a manager. They are busy right now. C-can you come back in 10 minutes?
>come back in 10 minutes
>some new person is there and have to start all over again

Things rarely go well in the grocery world when you color outside the lines.
