I am so mad!! Just got back from Walmart  

Yes this sort of thing has happened to me to because i don't have a good memory for things, we have a policy here in Australia if you are over charged on a listed price and you correct them you get it for free, my sister has a fantastic memory for these sorts of things can have a trolly full of things and remembers every price and watches at the checkout, nearly every trip to the supermarket she gets at least one thing for free, at one time she came home with three free items, i wish i could remember the prices....

That's a lesson I've been trying to learn for years! I've often paid full price for a sale item just because I totally forgot to keep a close eye on things, or I was busy with something else. How lousy it is to be mad at myself!

aww now that is annoying!! just when you think you got a bargain..

i hate when that happens because sometimes if it is not less than a certain amount i wont pay for it and then when i finally get home and see it was more i am so mad but at the same time so tired to go back to the store.but i have learned my lesson, now when the cashier is scanning the items i watch the price of each item as it beeps over the register.

That's why I use the U-scan, no matter what. I don't care how many items I have or that the cashier and other customers give me the evil eye. I can ring things up at my own pace and pay attention to the prices. I can pack it myself and don't have the flour pack on top of the eggs, lol. And yes, I can deal with the tantrums and meltdowns and not miss a price scanned.

Walmart has been especially bad lately with not having their clearance/sales prices in the system. If you don't pay attention, you lose out. Since I usually go at around the same time, the cashiers at the uscan know me and know that I have always been right. They simply overwrite and put in the sales price I tell them the item was priced at. They know about the problem, too.

If I would have been you, I would have returned the item the next time I would go to the store. Of course being that it is a toy for your child, it's a little harder to say that it needs to be returned. If you don't want to use the uscan, try to put such sales item on conveyer belt first or last. Then you have an easier way to pay attention and to see if it rings up right.

Yeah, I have had that happen before. I always get so mad at myself for it too.

It should still be time enough to take the toys back with the receipt, even if they ARE opened, and explain what happened. Even if you cannot get back there this weekend, most stores have at least a 30-day return policy. If you speak to a manager just tell him what happened and say you're very unhappy. If that manager doesn't seem to be sympathetic, ask him for the number to the corporate center, get his name, and call the place with all your information such as the details of how you were overcharged, and how the manager you spoke to did nothing about it, and tell them you don't apreciate this treatment, that you can understand a simple mistake, but that the cashier should have been more attentive as well, and the manager did nothing to satisfy you. Usually corporate centers care more and will give at least some incentive to keep shopping there, such as a rebate of what you paid extra, some coupon like a 10% off your next shopping day, or something...

This is something that makes me mad as well. It's not so much the mistakes of the cashiers, because they are often busy and cannot know every sale price of thousands of items in the store, but when I try to get something resolved, and I know I am in the right (I have the receipt, it's the correct product, correct size, correct date of the sale, etc) and the manager is so rude it's totally unacceptable! Anyway, enough of my own venting, sorry you had a bad experience. Good luck!

That is why when I am at Walmart and I grab something that is on clearance I scan it under one of those price checker things before I even think about going to the register with it. I hate it when that happens to me. Even more so when I forget to look at my receipt before leaving the store.

Yes ... this happens to me all the time. I usually just take the receipt back to the store the next time I am going to go there. In your case 50 miles is a long way to go back and with the price of gas nowadays may not be worth it. I would call the manager and ask if you could get reimbursed the next time you plan on gong back to that store ... let them know the approximate date and if it's okayed ... get the manager's name. Perhaps you could fax the receipt to him or mail it with the intention of him reimbursing you back your money. It's probably worth a phone call. Good Luck!

That really sucks. But that is what to expect from Wal-mart. Maybe you should save the receipt and get your refund the next time you are there or get a refund over the phone if you paid with a card.

The manager's name should be on the receipt. Call them and let them know that someone isn't doing their job. They can't fix what isn't broken. However I feel that they do it deliberately.
