I use lots of coupons and watch the monitors at Publix like crazy. I can't tell you how many mistakes I find. It's at least once a month. So, we get free things from their Publix Promise, and walk away paying what we actually should. Every once in awhile though, he swipes that card and it's off to customer service we go to stand in line yet again... *sighs* (One time we made the mistake--we got charged about $12 for three star fruit. Turns out we misread the sign because it had several "real names" on it and we thought we knew which was which. Well, we didn't. We returned them right away. I like start fruit but I don't $4/each like it! I keep telling my husband, “don’t swipe your card until we have the total!” I use lots of coupons and watch the monitors at Publix like crazy.

Luckily, the cashiers at Hannaford are some of the friendliest, helpful store emeployees I've ever seen. Everyone was very apologetic about this error. ...although Jess told me they're supposed to give you the item free + $1 if it rings up incorrectly. Where's my extra $1? ;) Chad: When I lived in Watertown, I used the self-checkout at the Stop & Shop pretty regularly, but Hannaford doesn’t have them yet.

At least a handful of times I've caught accidental double-scans, mispricings, or typos-when-keying-in-produce-codes.
