Do you compare the price of an item against that on the receipt when shopping?

When you go to the shop or supermarket and you arrive at the checkout counter, do you pay attnetion to the price that are actually being keyed in the computer to see if it corresponds to the one on the item? Or do you wait for the receipt then compare it? Or you just can't be bothered?
Me, I pay attention. Only this afternoon I bought some items including a pack of biscuits and a candle, the price tag fell off the candle and I watched as the cashier stuck the cnadle price tag unto the biscuits (which by the way cost less).
So I told her excuse me Miss, but that is the price for the candle not the biscuits, she turned red and sent another clerk to verify the correct prices for both items as though she didn't know what she was doing. Then she had to get the store manager to delete the wrong price and keyed in the correct price for the biscuits.
Shaking my head!

I only do this when the money I brought with me is just enough for the grocery prices I already estimated beforehand. But if I had more money I wouldn't be able to notice anymore. I'd just get an item I need and put it in the basket then I head to the counter to pay. There was once or twice it happened to me that the cashier keyed in the wrong price but it wasn't that much. I think it was only between 5-10 pesos more. But you're doing the right thing. One does have to pay attention to these things.
