It’s also been happening at other businesses. We’ll never know how much these companies have already robbed us for.
Look at your receipts some companies are not doing it . The companies will fix it but people are going in your accounts and or going into the store accounts and doing something to the machines the Walmart in The state of Delaware changed their system 2-3 times in one year why???
Target is notorious for overcharging for sale items. I used to work at Target as a cashier. I had to radio the specific department to verify the product price. Often that employee is busy helping other customers. Meanwhile the register line is held up and the customer is getting irritated taking it out on cashiers despite me thanking them for their patience. Once the sale price is verified, I had to ask Customer Service Lead to override the price. Often it takes time for that Lead to come to my register too. I suggested to my Lead to inform corporate that this is an ongoing problem.
"WHD investigations in fiscal year 2023 found, on average, $1,297 for each employee due back wages. For retail cashiers, that means more than three times what they would earn in a typical workweek. Imagine how challenging it would be if you weren't compensated for three weeks of work."
@@Libertyfreedom108 because Walmart is very currupt. glad they are gettikng sued. Sams club used to put items in clearance because they were the last item but at regular price. they claimed they had no where else to put it. I told them it's deceptive.
@@SS-iw2nq I have got over charged on towels that were on sale twice at Target. worker checked out the sign and gave the sale price.
Walmart and Home Depot make the customer do the employees job while the employee makes sure the customer doing their job doesn't steal.

Dollar General is baaad for this.
Lawsuits have already been filed against them.
These companies should be sued for charging more for less. They keep lying about it when it's obvious to the consumer what they're doing.
Could I put my name on that lawsuit they took me plenty of times
Not just Walmart.....This is sad...☹️
I just moved from Charlotte, this has been going on for years!!
Definitely has, but when will they be held accountable?
@yourshyness32 Sadly, every big corporation is greedy and doing the same thing.
@@yourshyness32 When Jesus comes back!!
@@yourshyness32Everybody knows Walmart does this. Been doing it for years.
Dollar General does this as well.
And they've been increasing their own brand prices for the last three years. They used that to increase profits from 60-90% (depending on the quarter) and used that to handle stock-buybacks or dividends.
And they've been pretending it's all because of inflation.
All retailers are guilty..
They might be guilty but not intentionally. It's always negligence where an associate at store level screwed up

An employee at a different retailer told me they DELIBERATELY stock things in the wrong place so customers are charged more.
Price gougin..everywhere..🤦🤔🥴
This is wrong but it’s not the same as price gouging.
Awe Yeah! Walmart BEEN Doing it for YEARS! The reason I used to take a pictures 📲 of the Shelf Price; and Show the Cashier as Proof; at the register when they rang up a Higher price.😎
isn't not over pricing, its a thief recover charge for all the stealing,
Walmart is the biggest thieves in the country- wage theif
The should also get Target. I’ve been in the parking lot on the app and watched the prices change 😮😮who does that!!!
I don’t shop Target but with Walmart, they clearly state that prices on the app may be different than in-store pricing.
Target is horrible about this. I hope all the thriving businesses permanently close.
They must be forced to pay a judgment SIGNIFICANLY higher than what they overcharged or they'll continue ripping off customers.
They didnt overcharge, they just suck at updating the price tags. Scan your stuff before you buy.
@@7531monkey A billionaire corporation knows exactly what is going on. Plus I don't scan my own items in any store - I'm not doing their work for them.
@@7531monkey I have been over charged several times. They lied about a toaster lven being about 69 dollars to 49 on sale ,when another store had it for 49.99. it;s in clearance now saying 40 instead of 49.99.
Ten million to the lawyers and $.038 to each consumer 😂
Went in to our local El Paso Walmart to buy a ton of Raman noodles for the local food bank. They were on sale. When I got to register, they were ringing up .75¢ more per 12 pack than they were advertised. I had to go get a manager. They didn’t believe me. I had to go take a picture of the display and show him. He then used his phone to calculate the difference in the two prices and deducted it from the total. It took an extra 20 minutes for me to get the sale price. Ridiculous.
always take pics or videos. I think the managers know what's going on. they didn't believe me aboiut shirts and soccks on sale with a giant sign saying the price. thjey then had regular price a little bit over of the same items. I told the manager about this problem, and he said that I could only have so many for that price. Workers keep putting a lot of items inb the food clearance area with no price., they blamed customers doing it, but it's always a lot of the same item.;
They absolutely do not need digital price tags that’s a scam and supporting it is awful.
I hate when they tell you to use your phone to check prices. The phone prices are always cheaper than in store. They don’t honor it either. So you have to do in store pick up and wait. Target is doing this also.
"They don’t honor it either." - That's very illegal of them
False advertising, Consumer protection laws
One thing I like about Target is that if you tell the cashier that the price is wrong and you tell them what the price is, they'll ring it up for that price.
So you have to tell them that they are scamming you ?
They are also charging more at the store than their online in-store pricing. Like you go to the website and it states 2.98 but you go to the store where it claims it's at it's higher at the store.
Stores don’t change prices at the rack as fast as they do the cashier.
I believe you've got it backwards
This is true! I tested this myself and half of my items were the wrong price. Most people are scanning so fast they don't remember the prices!
Just do like me.
Don't shop at Walmart.
Let them go to Mexico like other companies.
Typical for Charlotte, NC. This seems to happen often at Walmart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Harris Teeter, and Food Lion. It’s also happened at a tractor supply type place on hwy 74 in Monroe. It’s NC statewide pricing fraud is a theft ring.
Scamerica!
It's all Walmarts. That's another reason why I stopped going there 20 years ago. I get some people don't have a choice of stores. But if you can, just stay away from Walmart, quit making the ceo's richer.
I had an argument about this just this week! I had literally added my own items up. The cashier came over and told me that I probably just saw the wrong prices on some of my items. SMH. I knew exactly what I had and how much it was. I paid $20 more than what my total came out to because I wasn’t going to take the time to walk someone around to point out each discrepancy.
Hell no, if it was $20 I’d be pointing out the discrepancy as a matter of principle. In reality, you were there to buy it so if the price change had gone into effect ya be none the wiser, right? And would have made that purchase.
next time make the manager give you the price., if they won't walk away. sometimes the manager when I prove they are wrong, they well fix the issue, but not always. last time only wanted to offer 10 percent, so I didn't get it. came back today and that same 6.97 shirt that had giant 4 dollar sign by it rang up 3 dollars.
It happens here in Russellville Arkansas as well they do that plus they keep raising there prices
Recently, at both Walgreens and WM, I've been told that they do not honor the price on the shelf tag. I left my entire order and bought NOTHING! I and many family members have worked retail. Times have changed. You have to wonder if technology is used to rip off the consumer. 😢
Walmart and Smiths Grocery is the worst for me. It is exhausting policing these corporations on a daily basis. Not to mention stores have taken food scales out of stores, so I can't check the weight on the package before I purchase it and take it home.
ya and add to it instant refund for stolen mis placed deliveries instead of a week
This has happened to me seriously who do you report this to? Telling the clerk doesn't do anything, they adjust the price at the register but the problem is not being fixed 🤔
Wait until dynamic pricing becomes a thing everywhere.
Walmart has been doing this sporadically for decades. You either waited 15 minutes for them to find someone to come to the register look at the item go away for 10 and come back with correct price, or you'd say forget it and leave without it.
I home school my children and as our business class I have told them to watch those price labels: *_They slide them down the shelves a couple of feet and the result always favors them_* . Walmart is the worst at this, but they are not the only ones. Honesty is such an easy word, but something that you rarely find anymore.
Truth. They do this!!!
A lot of stores are doing it!
They’ve been during this a LONG time, and so Guilty of Price Gauging. Trader Joe’s prices lower than Walmart and they don’t sell clothes, electronics, guns or gas… 🤔
You need to investigate their illegally operating accounts delivering to your door by people unvetted, uninsured, and stealing work/merch daily nationwide. Ran like a crime ring in the parking lots. Legal drivers have reported stolen work for two years. Beware who is delivering to your door.
idk know about that but what I know is that if you want to deliver orders for Walmart, one usually ends up making between less than 0 dollars an hour to maybe 5/hr... before gas and stuff. Thanks America for not going to the store anymore!
This happened to me, AGAIN, yesterday (7/7/24) at Walmart in Prosper, TX at a self check-out register! In the past when I would be overcharged, I'd just call it a loss and keep it moving. But yesterday, I had time! While moving from my role as customer to "cashier," I realized that the Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive I wanted to buy rang up for $13.77 instead of the $10.98 amount I had seen on the shelf. I continued ringing up my other items and paid for my purchases but once done, I pushed my basket over to the Walmart worker that looks over the shoulders of the "self check-out cashiers" and asked that she watch my basket while I go and do a "PRICE CHECK." I walked back to the grocery aisle to confirm the posted price of $10.98, retrieved my basket of groceries, and strutted over to the line at Customer Service. After telling the woman at the counter that I was overcharged and I'd like a refund for the difference, she excused herself to go to the grocery aisle for confirmation of my situation. Upon her return, she issued a credit to my card in the amount of $13.77 and then re-charged me at the true cost of $10.98.
Millions of dollars will go to the law firm. Chump change will go to the actual victims of Walmarts predatory price gauging.
This happens in the app for delivery as well.
Walmart has been improving; but for awhile; the discrepancies were all too frequent. Check your receipts!
Family dollar is a dame shame all the time
Shocking but I guess they just want to compete with that big box dollar store. 😢
Has happened to me several times. Once just yesterday.
START A FOOD COOP!
Price fixing now !
What do we have to do?
Screenshot each product before we take it off the shelves?!?!? And arguing with the cashier with each screenshot vs their programmed registers???
INSANITY!! This level of deceit demands a verdict!!
Walmart once tried to charge me 50 bucks for Marvel's Spider-Man on Ps4. Until I checked the Walmart app and had to tell them it was 19 bucks. 😂
This has happened to me CONSTANTLY at one particular Walmart. Especially in the makeup department. It's been as much as $2 or $3 OVER when it was rang up. I've caught this multiple times.
It's called inflation that's why the prices are different at the register
Its being done in Missouri also.
They got really wild with the pandemic stimulus, overcharging comfortably figuring: what stamp recipients are going to check each item, in a cartload of stuff 😂. PROFITS UP 🎉.
I’m glad I shop at H-E-B for my groceries. I never shop at Walmart these days.
take the item back and get the difference...
Market price is the new economics
Being in Walmart management in the past…I don’t think that this is a moral issue as much as a systems issue. I believe the problem is with the employees not changing the shelf stickers when the price has been changed in the computer. They need more accountability by the people that are stocking the shelves. These are the people that have their eyes on both shelf and computer prices at the same time. Another option is to hire more people to insure price integrity. Just my thoughts…
Bring weights, check scales
Good! Walmart has bragged about the record profits that they made during the pandemic when they had the gall and audacity to charge $21.00 for a 60 count of eggs!
Good...
Got caught..
Go get em Ambulance Chasers 🚑
Don't shop at walmart!
Walmart is more expensive than our upscale neighborhood store. People are fooled to think they’re cheaper. Maybe on dry goods, but on groceries they are definitely not.
The Great Value brand has gone up by a lot on some food items and hamburger rolls hot dog rolls, so other brands aren't as much difference now. other items have gone up by a few dollars more. greatr value lasagna isn't much cheaper them some of it's competion now.
What about stop and frisk at the damn doors they arent Costco 🥴
Not! Just! Walmart!!
No surprise it's not just Walmart it happens in just about every store everywhere they all nickel and dime you and when you tell someone who works in the stores they dismiss it or make up an excuse to why it costs more money
Not only that, the register doeant add up the amounts properly. And if paying in cash, and you are owed change. it does not add up. If you calculate the total minus from the amount paid, your receipt will show an amount, but when you subtract it, the amount given back ia wrong.
So Walmart complaining about products being stolen, but they are stealing customers money
I see cop cars arrest people for shoplifting a lot at my local Walmart. Yes they do rip people off a lot. they over charged me before.
Customer NEED to take a photo of the price on the shelf and then PAY attention to the price they are being charged at the register.
I did last time and the manager only wanted to give me 10 percent off. he admitted that he knew what sign I was talking about, but his boss over him wouldn't let him.
always good to take pics, but one manager refused to let me have some frozen pizzas claiming they were wrong upc code, yet the pizzas several of them were by that sign. got same digornio pizza at another walmart on sale for price on sign marked down.
@@deadlycreature3359 That does happen. As those who are supposed to pay attention and change the signage often do not. So it falls onto the consumer to make sure. There is always the option of not buying the products.
Customers also still at the self checkouts maybe Walmart needs to Sue the consumer also.... It's always another side to the story...
Need ESL's to fix the problem.......
Now, if they could just get their employees to make those price corrections when they're off the clock... 😒
EVERY THIRD TIME EVERY WHERE I GO, ITS WRONG, EXCEPT ALDI.
They are taking advantage of us being in a hurry, if you aren’t they make you rush because there are no lanes open and then doing all of it yourself because they won’t pay people to do it. It’s the perfect storm for them to do this to us. When you bring it to the ONE person that’s monitoring the self checkout attention it takes more of your time, have to wait for them to go to the aisle and double check, then decide if they are adjusting the price or not or try ti argue with you that it’s not included or it’s the wrong item :/ I don’t have time to watch every item when I’m there stocking up on 20+ things. They love to do it in little bits too like the change is .23 but then they charge you .29 that adds up when you do it to 100,000 people. How do we join this class action suit?!
Dollar General
Just as customers steal from stores, stores steal from customers and this is their “ legal” way of doing so. I never leave a store without checking my receipt and unfortunately more times than not I have been overcharged. I make them adjust the price. Too bad they don’t make them give you the item for free and double your money back as a gesture of good faith. Maybe if they did it would make an impact on their bottom line and they would make sure prices are correct.
Or there is multiple locations in the store with same product with different prices. Someone is not doing the job of keeping the labels consistent. I noticed this a year ago.
It has happened to me several times at several locations.. I take pics or video of sale items to show to manager. a sign said one price for can goods at twoi different walmarts, and they rang up at least 20 cents higher or more then that. it's happened with clothing a lot and giant signs even saying the sale price, yet the managers act like I am wroing even when shoiwing video and pics. they don't always honor it either like last time only offering 10 percent off. two signs in one area the other day had 4 dollar shirts on both sides,m yet still had 6.97 on some signs even with nothing but 4 dollar shirts. no 6.97 shirts. come back today and they rang up 3 dollars. yet didn't change the sign again. 4 dollar shirts on both sides of sign again. you well find several differentv prices sometimes in the clearance section of the same item. sometimesa a 5 to 10 dollar difference.
The new digital labels will solve this problem for good. It's never an intentional act to mislead customers. It's always human error where somebody at store level who is responsible for pricing dropping the ball. For the past month Digiorno Pizzas have rang up at $5.97 but the shelf says $6.98. I use Scan&Go and even when I see a higher price than I want to pay I scan it just to see if it's actually lower and sometimes it is. Last month it was the Coke bottles. They rang at $3.28 but the shelf said $5.18, when I saw how much lower they were ringing I took all 6 cases that were on the shelf
Yea, i got ripped off on potting soil from Walmart
Watch the produce. Walmart tried to charge me a higher price at the register and I had to get an associate to go back and check. I was correct.
But can you identify the product compared to the gibberish on the receipt? I usually cannot match them up. Am I the only one?
Shut it down
I've seen this at Wal-Mart a lot. I just refused to buy the product and no longer shop there. Even if you point it out to the employees and they refuse to correct the problem.
That is commendable that you are able to do this. Unfortunately, for many people in rural areas, Walmart is the only option for local groceries and household items.
@@kaylakitty3814 yeah. I lucked out to have options.
Yes, it’s true, because it almost happened to me several times. You have to watch Walmart prices, if you don’t notice, they will Rob you. I don’t care it is a dime, I want My dime
Miss liable!
It’s a fact they are plus family dallor and dallor general
I buy motor oilther and they are always mispriced.
Don't eat that stuff you'll grow funny appendages..
Family dollar also
I think they should be fined if they are not updating the prices on the shelf within 24 hrs of a price change and usually it's a price hike in most instances. They definitely have the manpower to do it since all they need to do is print the tags and do the swap and not everything in that isle is going to have a price change. Sometimes it's very few items and sometimes it's a whole section because a particular band hiked prices.
Personally I use to work in such a job where prices change. I was in charge to 3-4 isles and they would give me a stack of new price tag to swap in every once in awhile. It was'nt everyday though.
Its always the blka crying about walmart
Da fk yall gardening now, y'all know y'all always got your food off a shelf! We're trying to be like me. Yes it's true I have a garden and I eat food from off the vine. Bye!
Happens in ohio every day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😮
Damn a few pennies is more important than employees being treated worst than great value toilet paper... Like seriously a popcicle a customer tried to steal and left out to melt is more important than the employees, and destination against hard dedicated workers... Your a threat to a slackers job who has a family member or friend that's a manager or employee that has pull...
There is good chance that. There will be a shopping app that will allow you to photograph each item on the shelf and put it on your shopping list and calculate each item as you shop , total the items add in the coupons you have ,and pay for everything,then at checkout you ,just hand in the coupons , and walk out the door …
