‘No wonder they’re making billions,’ slams Walmart shopper after being overcharged – asks people to check their receipts

ANOTHER consumer is raising awareness about errors they allegedly found on their receipts.

The shopper first called Walmart, before moving on to a popular wholesaler, where she had a similar experience.

Shelly Fleck shared his story on Facebook as a cautionary tale, complete with receipts to show the error.

“Randy tells me all the time to check your receipts when you go shopping,” she began her post.

And after her experiences, she spread Randy’s message to a wider audience, hoping to save others stress and money.

According to Fleck, her first checkout problem happened at Walmart after her total was almost double what she expected.

“So I went to Walmart a few months ago and checked out and my bill came to close to 400.00,” she shared.

That total came as something of a shock, prompting Fleck to take a second look at his receipt.

Fleck alleges the retail giant charged her $172 for a steam cleaning machine she didn’t buy.

“I didn’t buy one!” she raged.

Fortunately, Fleck was reimbursed for the incorrect cost, but his problems don’t end at Walmart.

His next receipt error allegedly happened at a Sam’s Club while shopping for clothes.

“Our bill came to 175.00 when we were leaving, I was wondering what we bought in that total of 175,” she explained in the post.

Once again, she was prompted to double-check the receipt for what was wrong.

“I looked and everything for sale was priced at full price,” Fleck wrote.

Diligent buyer that he is, Fleck returned to the customer service counter with proof of the error.

Not only did she bring the receipt, she retraced her steps, taking photos of each of the sales signs to show the workers.

About a dozen different clothing items were charged full price instead of receiving the nearly 25% discount.

In total, she was reimbursed $32.46 after the employee corrected her total.

She punctuated her two stories with a repetition of her warning and a scathing assessment of the two establishments.

“Then check your receipts,” she reiterated.

“I wonder how many times people have been overcharged and not checked. No wonder they are making billions,” concluded Fleck.

Neither Walmart nor Sam’s Club immediately responded to The US Sun’s requests for comment.

WALMART RETURN POLICY

WALMART has a more lenient receiving policy than some.

According to the store’s website, almost all items are returnable, and online orders are tracked by the website, making returns easy.

The most frequently asked for return items are those sold by dealers or resellers and not Walmart or Walmart.com, which are subject to the dealers’ and resellers’ own policies.

The only contract for returning items from the store itself is that it must be completed within 90 days of purchase.
