Produce items are encoded into the machine normally. Someone in the produce department really messed on this one. This is a prime example of why you should always check your receipt before leaving the store.

As for the scanner bounty. Since most produce items are rarely scanable, it’s most likely a coding error on the part of the cashier or the person who checks in the produce. You can try but I’d be surprised if you were successful.

Do bring this to the managers attention. I’m just wondering how many more people have been ripped off because of this “error?”

Thanks for writing and please – Remember to check your receipt in the future!
