Check your receipts

Last summer I was checking my Walmart receipt for an item that I had a rebate for and noticed that, that particular item had been scanned twice, although I had only purchased one. I called Walmart and asked what I could do about this. The guy said to just bring the receipt in and they would credit me. So, I did take it in and they did credit me without any problems. The thing is, after that, I started really checking my receipts and have found the same mistake (scanning one item,twice) about 30% of the time. I asked the manager why it keeps happening and he said their scanners are really sensitve, so it does happen alot. It pays to go back over your receipts!!!

I do this all the time. Usually before I leave the store. Walmart is really bad about this. I think it is how they generate more profit.

I wouldn't doubt it. It happens so often! I agree, it is a good idea to check your receipt before you leave the store.
