do you attempt to get your money back?

Today i was at the grocery store, and i bought two boxes of cinnamon toast crunch (and some other stuff). but the boxes were supposed to be 2 for $4.00. but they rang up as $3.19 each. i saw it on the recipt and was like, "well, wtf is this?" so i went back into the store to the customer service desk, and they were like, yeah, it's not right, and gave me the difference. ended up getting $2.50 back. not a big deal, but i still think the idea of going back and being charged what you were supposed to be is a good idea.

anyone ever do that? as a consumer, do you stick up for what the price is/should be?

i would have done the same..

however if i saw the receipt when i was at home it probably would have been like "ah fuck the 2.50".. wont bother going back..

If it under 5 bucks, no. Anything over, more than likey.

yeah, i think i would have done the same too. but i was just in the parking lot, so i was like, shit why not?

The stuff is already over priced. Not going back gives them more incentive to raise them.

right when i see it ring up wrong on the register i say something. half the time i wouldn't buy the shit unless it was on sale, so why dick myself over. amirite?

i used to hate people that did that, at the register....like these old ladies who would do it, "omg that's supposed to be $1.99 not $2.09". would get me so pissed. its like, don't waste my time, go to the customer service people afterwards.

but now, i'm like, whatever

if you live in the awesomest country in the world you will often get the incorrectly charged item for free.

edit: blah blah blah, i'm cheap. i admit it.

if i realize it at home, then i don't even bother. if i'm at the store and i realize it, if it's under about 4 dollars or so i won't say anything...

this week makes 2 months of me trying to get my money back for a gym i signed up but cancelled the very next day.



I am still trying!!!!!!!!

I've returned electronics that are flat out fucked. Other than that, no.

only if she refuses to swallow.

i don't buy much at a time, so i usually go to the self-check out things at stop&shop, so if something fucks up i notice it

oh and if you're ever at one of those and you're getting a 2 liter of something, as you put it on the belt, keep your hand on top of it so as the belt makes it roll, you hold it in place while letting it spin.

if all goes correctly, you'll have a conveyor belt with a bottle of soda spinning on it but not going anywhere. aw man i was cracking up so hard the first time i did it

I was stuck behind some woman who argued for 15 minutes about a 19 cent difference on a price of some item and I vowed at that moment to never ever be that anal and tight assed in my life no matter how poor I was. So, unless it's some drastic error then it's not worth my effort.

thats about where I stand.

like say when I signed up to this gym a few years back, a huge ass sign clearly stated a $50 startup fee for 'students'. Thing is, you had to be a high school student, not college, so they charged me the standard $120. Thats worth arguing about, and I ended up not getting the membership. i dont know many high schoolers who would start their own fitness memberships and not, say, tag along with their family's membership or something.

Fuck, i hate those fucks. I've given them their price difference with pocket change and told them to piss off (well, at least the bitches).

Sometimes it's multiple "price checks" and it's like FUCKKKK.
"that's not right!....price check!.......ok, you were still wrong....ok i dn't want it......ring ring.....WAIT, that's not right either...UGH"
all i want to buy is this god damn CD and this is the express fucking lane.
