checking out

Hello fellow shoppers,

I would like to take a few minutes to talk to you about checking out in stores. Today when I was checking out in Walmart the cashier tried to charge me $8.00 for 4 plums.I know crazy. I told her the price was wrong, so she tried to retype the code for plums and it came up the same price again. Then I had her get the chart with the codes for fruits and veggies and try another one. In the end I got them for $1.79 big difference. My advise to you is when your cashier is ringing up your purchases be sure to position yourself so you can see the how much each item rings up for. This is even more important when items are on sale or clearance. Make sure you say something if it rings up for more then the sign or tag says. If a sale sign is in the wrong spot in a store and says something is cheaper then its ringing up for the store HAS TO give it to you for that marked price. I've had cashiers say sorry the sign was wrong, and made them give me the merchandise for what the sign says. If put a stink up they will back down, just don't yell they don't respond well to that. Another thing is if you see something you want to buy but is slightly damaged, like a pair of pants that is missing a belt or something small tell the cashier you want 15% off for the damage if she says no try 10% they usually will except that. Just be careful when you ask for money off or the price of an item changed try to sound like you know what you are talking about and are standing your ground but be nice at the same time.
