I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from work today. I did a fair amount of shopping, including some dinner food for the next couple of days. Passing by the aisles I noticed the Hungry Man frozen foods on sale for $2.00. I thought to myself, “oh, this looks like a pretty good deal. For only $2.00 I can have a satisfying dinner.” So I picked one up and put it in my basket. Of course, I wouldn’t have bought this if it wasn’t for sale in the first place.

At the checkout, while I normally see if the cashier is doing her job properly by looking at the screen and the prices she enters, this time I was distracted by assembling all the plastic bags that I had to carry. After coming home, I looked at the receipt to check if the prices were correct. I then noticed that the cashier charged me the full price for the Hungry Man meal! $3.89 for what I was supposed to pay only $2.00 for!

I felt so stupid because it was all my fault for not checking her work. And to think that I only bought this meal because it was $2.00 and that I would have never bought this otherwise, was nagging me at the back of my head.

This meal better be damn good I tell you!

Just be sure to check the prices at the cashier… or go to the self-cashier line.

Grr…
