I've encountered all of these tactics stores use to bilk their customers. I'm a very careful shopper and compare prices to the weight of the same products of different brands. I also count up the cost of the items in my head before checking out and if there's a discrepancy, I check the sales slip very carefully before leaving. If I'm charged more for an item than advertised or was priced, I make the store make good on it and if they refuse, then I also refuse to buy it. Most stores don't want you to raise a stink about their practices, so they most always capitulate and apologize.

  Ever notice when checking out at the store, if there's a mistake on what they charge you. That so called mistake is ALWAYS in the stores favor, by OVER CHARGING YOU!. It's very rare that they make a mistake by under charging you. It's no mistake my friends, or at least 90% of the time it's not a mistake, it was intentional!

    And be careful about the scanning. I've had items scanned more than once, which is mostly a people error but you're right about the price of items that almost always are higher and not lower.
