Ditto here as well. My wife stands and watches as each item rings up and stops them in there tracks. We do coupons all the time and save a pile of do, re, me.........They aren't too happy to do it sometimes, because of all the customers standing around. They especially don't want you to return meat, because they have to throw it away, so they will refund you on the spot. My wife rarely ever buys anything not on sale, and then dumps a coupon on top of it to really get a deal. Remember, an on sale item + a coupon=priceless.

Most times we are in a rush to get in and get out, and we don't really bother to check the receipt. If I'm buying meats or higher-than-average priced items, I WILL check before I leave.
Most stores do want a happy customer, but the few that don't really stand out as "shop at your own risk" retailers.

Also keep in mind, as with Stop & Shop and Shaws, that if they are dealing with labor disputes the errors can become much more commonplace. (Think disgruntled employee)

I'm not sure if I've ever been jipped because I don't really check the receipt that closely, but I can say I've been jipped by baggers who don't seem to give a crap as they slam stuff in the bag and you get home with dented cans, crushed vegetables, chips, cookies, bread. Not too long ago had a dozen eggs the bagboy was sent back with because they didn't have a price scan bar. I didn't check when he returned but got home to find three cracked eggs. I always took the opportunity to bag for myself if noone was there, but from then on I politely insist on bagging my own stuff. It does seem to tick off alot of baggers when I say that I just can't accept paying to have damaged food items.
