The Walmart customer said she experienced this at her local store in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

She raged about how she was apparently overcharged for a great value mac and cheese.

“Notice…I was shopping at Walmart in Prescott Valley,” the customer said in an publish.

“I only purchased one box of Great Value Macaroni and Cheese. I was charged for two.”

Walmart responded to this complaint and admitted that the incident was not okay.

“This should not happen!” the store wrote.

The retailer then asked the customer to share more details with them via private message.

This buyer wasn’t the only person to share their apparent overcharge stories on social media.

Another Walmart customer lashed out at the chain when he was allegedly overcharged twice in a month, The US Sun previously reported.

This shopper said she was not impressed with the staff’s response.

I was overcharged at Walmart for $106 and I didn’t understand when I came back – then an employee gave me a reason why I’m paying more

“WATCH YOUR RECEIPT,” she he wrote.

“I was overcharged 2 times in one month… Today it was $110.”

She said she expected her bill to come to about $50, but when it appeared to be over $145, she felt something might be wrong.

The buyer claimed an employee double-checked the purchases and the bill dropped to $60.45.

How to check if stores are overcharging

  • Shoppers should always double-check the tag on the item they are holding with the tag on the store shelves
  • If the product has been misplaced, you may be seeing an inaccurate price
  • In automatic checkout, be sure to compare the advertised price with the price you saw on the sales floor
  • For heavy items, it is important to check that the scale is at zero before weighing the product.
  • Stores are required to display the weight on display, so managers must be notified if it is hidden
  • Scales must also not touch any other part of the self-checkout
  • After paying, buyers should compare what they paid to the items’ sales price

“Please pay attention to your items,” the buyer asked.

An angry Popeyes diner was furious after claiming the fast food chain overcharged her by $12, The US Sun previously reported.

This person was also infuriated by the store’s seemingly shady response.

“Popeyes, your store at 1200 South Arlington St, Akron Ohio 44306 stole $11.99 from me when my husband purchased his family picnic box,” she stated.

“We never received drinks, were overcharged $11.99 and offered a paltry $5 coupon.”

“The store stole my money. And you don’t care.”
