Have I got a good one for you, next time you go through the check out line of ShopRite, K-mart, or anyother retail giant, check your receipt! There has been a little game that I like to call "register roulette" happening in every store I have worked at or shopped at. A computer error as some would like to refer to it, but don't be fooled! Add up all the items you bought, including tax, see what you get. I did try this and I found out that K-mart ripped me off for four dollars on my receipt! No wonder why little miss Martha is being sued!
That's not all ladies and gentlemen, I also have worked at a company owned by both Ginardi's and Safeway and had added up numerous totals by working at the front desk, about one in every six receipts someone was being ripped off from 20 cents to two dollars. Your probally thinking " twenty cents! That's nothing" Oh but you see over a period of time the company get's a little here and there for profit.
It's sort of like that movie "hackers" that worm virus that eats away a couple cents so no one notices, but in time this can equal thousands. If you think I am pulling your leg, see for yourself. Maybe it wont happen everytime you add up your total on a calculator, but do it everytime you get your receipt and your sure to find this game happening at your expense!
As for ShopRite, well I also worked there too and that's where I first learned about this lovely rip off scam. Let the buyer beware, check before you accept!
