Was in Supermarket going through self checkout and you have to get store staff to punch through discount. They have reduced something priced £50 by 75% along with the fruit and veg.

There have been a few times they’ve failed to reduce stuff so you pay full whack for going off that day produce. Also double scanned stuff that you realise later. I once paid double for laundry pods about £8 and was really annoyed as I was home before I realised and felt I couldn’t insist on a refund later in the week.

Anyway IABU go back and pay up

YANBU keep the money, life is balancing itself out.

Always check your receipt before you leave. I sat in my car and used my phone calculator to add it all up, or I sit on the bench in store.

I personally would have flagged that they made a mistake, keeping quiet is essentially theft.

You could have complained about the double charging, they would have refunded you.

Bizarre that staff are making so many mistakes on your shopping, I use self-checkout most days and staff have never made a mistake.

Are you worried that the till software has been deliberately written to add up wrongly or hacked in some way? Have you ever found that the total is wrong?

I quite often find mistakes on my receipt with items being charged at a different price from the shelf ticket. I assume it's because prices are so all over the place these days that staff doing the shelves/ticketing struggle to keep up but as it's happening against a backdrop of what feels like systemic overcharging across the board, while supplying reduced service, I always go back for a refund where possible.

No I wouldn't bother. Just forget it.

My dear dad (RIP) was as honest as the day is long. I bought a packet of foreign collectors stamps from the local newsagent and took 2 packets instead of 1 by mistake. When I got home as an 9-year-old (yes you could go out on your own in the 60s -it was amazing!) I proudly showed him what I had he made me turn round and take it back straight away. 200 people came to his funeral he was a lovely man and honesty was part of who he was. Sad to say I'm nothing like him. I would keep it. Sorry dad ....

Lovely💜ahhh the 60's - endless roaming till teatime
