This is the third time in a row I have shopped at a WalMart and found my receipt incorrect with double charged. Not only do they act like its my fault, even when I have not left the check-out stand, they have an excuse which is lame. I called up the manager and asked for an explanation. He claims: Walmart makes their scanners very sensitive so the checker can be fast(which also makes it difficult to hear any double ring-ups) and because of this, are double charging.

Big problem!

Charges are NOT near each other on receipt! No answer to that one from manager. I told him what it looks like to me... SCAM! He said he was sorry and walked away.

BE AWARE and check your receipt carefully for doubles that are not even close to each other on receipt.

Your complaint makes no sense. For one thing, in order for the cashier to double scan an item(the same item,different positions on the receipt), s/he would have to remove said item from it's bag & rescan. Did you witness this? Sounds to me like a glitch in the system, although I've never heard of such a thing.

They are complete [censored]. They want to stop me to on the way out to check things that aren't in a bag as they are too big I simply tell them no thank you but they do not give a crap about their double charges cuz they're complete [censored]

It happened to me today but didn’t notice til this evening after reviewing my receipt. I only purchased 6 items and I was double charged on every single on. My bill was double what it should have been. I called Walmart and will have to go to customer service to straighten it out and get my debit card refunded. It’s a real pain in the butt as it’s over 20 miles round trip and I don’t have a lot of extra time to deal with this especially with the holidays . It’s hectic to say the least. Do yourself a favor and check your receipt before leaving the store. Happy Holidays

Here is how they do it : scan the item, hold it, run through a few others, then scan it again , I have seen them do it, they go fast when you are a target.

Yes, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL at Walmart!

I try to use on the Self-Checkout Registers so that I can verify each item individually (price and quantity). It takes a little more time / effort, but it's so much easier.

Also, if you find an error, notify the Cashier BEFORE YOU PAY for anything! They can correct it at the register quickly and easily, if they know what they are doing (not complaining about Cashiers in Training; they need time). If you wait until AFTER YOU PAY, then you will have to go to their Customer N0-Service Desk to get it corrected, which will take much longer; and depending on payment method, can take days or weeks to get the money back.

Seriously? As long as it takes to check out usually? People waiting and you want me to stand there and go over my receipt before I pay? The cashier kept coming around the counter and scanning things, I told him some of this stuff I wanted to pay for separate so he stopped, but apparently had already scanned the cheese and then scanned it again on the next batch. Too much trouble to fight the parking lot and the employees of Walmart to go back now. $3.88

You are a SUCKER! [censor] Regina Cross and [censor] Walmart. You should have knocked that [censor] out COLD! No human being should ever stand to be spit at in the face, regardless of where they are. You are a coward and obvioulsy have major insecurities...otherwise you would have gone balistic on the [censor]. Shame on YOU and shame on Walmart!

On the double charge issue, I've had it happen several times. Can 't say for sure about the times before
but yesterday's double charge was several items after the original charge and was the last item on the
sales receipt.

I'm guessing Walmart doesn't tell their employees to do this because sooner or later it would get out and
hit all the media. I am guessing however that Walmart does this deliberately through their software.
I'd guess, for example, they pick a fairly low cost item on say every 50 or 100, or even 1000 sales thru that register
and double bill it. Think how many dollars of pure profit they'd make in a day.

Just happened to me today at self-checkout kiosk. Scanned two $12 bags of almonds - the kiosk rang each one up twice. I didn't catch it until I got home. $24 was worth a trip back on my bike!

I had Walmart double charge me for two $ 2.54 items. What made it so suspicious
was the double ring up items were on the BOTTOM of the ticket and no where near
the two proper items.

If they do this every 1000, or even 10, 000 customers, they're involved in MAJOR THEFT.

Since then I have weighing been weighing their 93/7 one pound hamburger packages,
weighing ONLY the hamburger. Not once has it ever been 16 oz. It's been
between 14.8 and 15.8 oz and usually comes in at about 15. 5oz.

Today at Wal-mart I bought several items; make-up, toiletries, soap, lotions, etc. When I got home and checked my receipt, I discovered I'd been charged SIX TIMES for one bottle of Pantene shampoo. The charges were not in sequence and at $4.97 a bottle, that adds up to nearly $25. of overcharges. Needless to say I will be returning to Wal-mart for my refund tomorrow. How is Wal-mart getting away with this scam?

Got double charged on a box of 32 variety ice-cream $9.97. Didn't notice til I got home as I had a variety of other foods, apples etc., but I remember scanning it well, 1 box, 1 beep. Funny thing is, if a stray grape rolls onto your scale it all but alerts the authorities. I believe they are buffing their profits by randomly robbing people also.

This is insane that this is happening to people! I never check my receipts but when I went to return some items I bought today I realized they had charged me six times for my one 50lbs bag of egg layer crumble for my chickens. I thought buying it at Walmart would be the cheapest route. WRONG at $11.98 a bag, thats $60 in overcharges! How could I miss this? An because its been over a week, I asked if they could help me out but they said they will not do anything if its not within 24 hours of telling them. Thats BS! Now realizing how much money I lost to them I am going to go back and make a serious complaint and try AGAIN to get my money back.

I have had this happen to me as well. I always get it corrected before I pay. Another thing to watch out for is the shelf price says one thing but the register will charge you a higher price. The Walmart's in my area are now doing this. One Walmart started doing it and then another started doing it as well. It appears that Walmart slowly implements this kind of stuff gradually from one store to the next mostlikely in hopes that no one will notice it.

Yep, they are definitely crooks. I got charged doubled for my entire transaction. I didn't find out until I checked my bank the next day. Don't believe the hype they know exactly what their doing ripping people off. The biggest retailer everybody's running scam nowadays.

@Land God - Do you mind telling which state this was in? The same thing happened to us on 12/5, here in WA state. Except in our case, we used the self-checkout. How does that even happen?

First transaction posted normally on 12/6. A second (identical) transaction posted on 12/7.

There must have been enough recent complaints, because by 12/8, a refund for the second amount was already pending on our credit card account. I also found this article from Arkansas, where the same thing happened, and even made it to their local news.
