I was overcharged at Walmart $106 and got a blank look when I went back – then a worker gave me a reason I’m paying more

A WALMART shopper warned others to check their receipts after they were overcharged $106 at the register.

Shoppers are more vigilant than ever about spending as many struggle to make ends meet.

As more people check their receipts, many have found overcharges they would've missed.

Jerry Blevins was shopping at Walmart when he was overcharged by $106, he explained in a Facebook post.

He first tried to get help from the cashier who rang him up but only got a "blank look" from the employee.

Blevins headed to customer service and explained the situation.

He was able to get a refund, but he wanted to warn others about what happened.

"The lady at the customer service desk told me they had just increased prices on a lot of items," he wrote.

"Walmart isn't what it used to be," replied another customer.

ADDED FEES

Another customer was shocked when they spotted a $200 fee for an unknown item.

Dale Berry had seen stories about people being overcharged, but he was vigilant and didn't think it would happen to him.

He went to a traditional checkout lane and thought the employee said the total was $57.20.

But when he got home and checked his receipt, it showed he had actually paid $257.20.

He shared a photo of his receipt with an item labeled only as "merchandise" that cost $199.80.

He was shocked because his haul only included 12 cans of dog food, a gallon of tea, a bottle of coconut oil, and Dr. Pepper.

"I came unwound like a 50-cent thrift store alarm clock," Berry ranted in a Facebook post.

What to do if you're overcharged

If you are overcharged at a retailer, there are a few ways to get your money back.

If you noticed you were charged more than the advertised or posted price, report it to an employee or manager.

Make sure to keep your receipt to show the price difference.

As a shopper, you are entitled to the lowest advertised, posted or quoted price offered by the store.

If you are charged more than the advertised, posted or quoted a price, report it to the sales clerk right away. If the sales clerk can’t help, speak to the manager.

Stores must honor a posted price, even if the price has expired.

You are also able to dispute charges with your bank if you notice something suspicious on your statement.

According to Los Angeles County Consumer& Business Affairs

Walmart immediately offered him a refund, but the trouble didn't stop there.

"When you swipe a card at Walmart, in case of a refund, they put the money back on your card in three to 10 days," he wrote.

"Well, they changed that policy on the spot!"

Berry was given $219 in cash due to taxes.

A third Walmart shopper begged others to check their receipts after she was charged for $70 worth of random items.

A Kroger shopper had a similar experience when they were charged five times the cost of their groceries.
