Warning: Price in your Receipt Maybe Wrong

It happened to me twice. Both in carrefour bu in separate location one is in Villagio and one is in city center.

I bought a spiderman psp game in carrefour city center. the price tagging in the box is 69Qr but when I checked the receipt after a day I saw that I paid 89Qr for that game.
I went back to carrefour city center to get my refund for the excess payment. They checked it and they returned back the excess payment to me. Thanks carrefour staff for the good customer service that you have given to me. Apology accepted.

The same case happened in carrefour villagio when I purchased a psp console. I paid only 744Qr instead of 799Qr. A wrong tagging of price.

This is just a warning that sometimes department store and supermarket are accidentally entering a wrong price on our bill. So, becareful.

Here's an image proof

The price Tag

The receipt

Note: These TWO events for wrong tagging are just accidental and they gave me my refund.

notnapster that receipt is from carrefour city center. The psp console that they "undercharged" me is from carrefour villagio. Actually that is not "undercharged". Try to visit carrefour villagio and look at the psp console. You will see that they already changed the price tagging from 799 to 749. I just paid the correct price for that.

Just to make it clear. I RETURNED back the PSP console that I purchased in villagio carrefour because they dont have international warranty. I was not aware with the wrong tagging before I return it. I just notice it when I'm already talking to their customer service.

Is that clear? lol :)

same thing happened to us..we bougth PS3 games 129 in the tag..then when the cashier enter to the system it became 269..!!!

so we asked them why..they said sometimes the bar code of the item is the problem.they read the old prices..

just be aware and check the receipt before leaving the counter..most especially when you purchase many items...you canno notice or you not bother anymore to check the price..

Happened a few times with me, but i have only bothered to check when the difference is obvious, like i buy few things and bill comes a lot more than expected, i think, minor mistakes are a lot more.

just a while ago... i bought olive oil...

there are two brands, same bottle and size, almost similar labeling but different price 1 is Q5.75, the other is Q3.75. I took one from each brand.

the cashier took one bottle and punch 2 pcs.

unfortunately he took the higher price one, so i told him, their different.

but if he took the smaller price and punch 2pcs... i would not say something...joke...lol

I think we should just be ALERT, THE MOMENT the cashier are punching/scanning the items. So we need not go back and ask for refund... time consuming.

Thanks for the warning. The next time I'm undercharged I'll remember not to go back to the store with that receipt.
