In July 2024, Lynda Leigh Page Stringfellow claimed she was overcharged at Walmart via a Facebook publishcalling it a “Public Service Announcement”.
The dissatisfied customer wrote: “I was overcharged at Walmart tonight. Be careful with the cashier and your receipts.
“I’ll be back tomorrow for a refund!!!”
Shoppers took to the comments to share their experiences at Walmart, with one claiming he was charged $14.99 for a $2.99 item.
Steven Smith wrote: “I was overcharged three weeks ago. I purchased a $2.99 item and was charged $14.99!”
Smith said “the barcode on the item matched the UPC code on the receipt.”
“So when I went to get my money back, they had to watch a security film to make sure I didn’t get the item they charged me for!”
The buyer then claimed that “there was no error on my part” as he did not use the self-checkout route.
He continued: “This is NOT the first time I have been overcharged, but it is probably the last.
“There’s nothing Walmart sells that I can’t get elsewhere. And on the other hand, I know several people who were overcharged on their withdrawal requests.”
The US Sun has reached out to Walmart for comment.
OTHER OVERLOADS
Several customers alleged on social media that they were overcharged by Walmart.
One buyer claimed he was overcharged more than $106 by the retail giant.
Jerry Blevins explained the situation on Facebook publish.
“I went back to the register and had a blank look on my face and then went to customer service,” he said.
“I received a refund and also informed the cashier about the actions.”
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
Another customer claimed Walmart overcharged him $200.
Facebook publishDale Berry said he only bought “a bag of dog food, 12 cans of Roy dog food, a gallon of Milo tea, a bottle of coconut oil and a Dr.Pepper.”
However, your total was $257.20.
Berry also said that when customers “swipe a card at Walmart for a refund,” the retailer will return the money to the card within three to 10 days.
“Well, they changed that policy immediately… with money,” he continued.
