10 year olds notice everything

[jackfaire]

This happened when I was 10 but I think it deserves being praised. I was sent by my mom to the store with a specific amount of money to get dish soap. I double checked grabbed the right soap at the right price. It rang up wrong and was being charged more than it said it was.

I told the cashier that it said a different price back there and without arguing she went to check. When she came back she saidI was right. However instead of ringing it up at the correct price she gave it to me for free because of the conflict, I hope she didn't get in trouble.

One of the reasons that took this from awesome to epic is that with the money I now had extra I went to their video section and rented a movie that my mom had been saying we would watch as a family when we had the money.

After leaving the store I put the soap and receipt in my backpack and carried the movie home. I arrived home handed it to my mom, "Here mom I got this" hee heee she almost freaked before I then handed her to the soap and explained the whole story to her. I was a family hero that night.

I used to love doing stuff like that to my mother when I was a kid. My favorite though was to sneak behind her when she was calling me from across the house. I would stand behind her quietly untill she turned around to go find me. And she would find me standing right behind her, laughing histerically.

I remember when I got sent to the store for something...and came back with a toy bow and arrows

I was usually pretty good apart from that one time.

This is actually a policy at most of the larger grocery stores. If something rings up wrong in my store (aside from alcohol), we find out the right price. If they're buying just 1 of that item, it's free. If they're buying multiples, the first is free, the rest are adjusted by a supervisor to reflect the correct price.

State law states that we cannot give away alcohol, period, nor can we sell it below our wholesale cost. So even if alcohol rings up wrong, we HAVE to apply the correct price, no freebies, and while we do give you 10% off when buying 6+ bottles of wine, the small print says wines on a certain shelf don't qualify due to being priced right at cost (so I get to deal with a few people a week bitching about how there's no signs over there about how some don't qualify).

The cashier likely just wrote down the UPC (if they weren't feeling lazy that day) and had the store scan coordinator fix it. We have TONS of wrong prices in our registers, mostly thanks to corporate sending sales fliers out and forgetting to update our registers. Or local management deciding to clear out some backstock, printing up a sale sign, and forgetting to tell the scan coordinator.
