I have had a lot of problems with our local Walmart on this. It makes me SOOO mad and the lines are too long to go back through. They always fail to scan the coupons properly, and then when I go to a manager I have no proof that I had a coupon in the first place.

Just one of many reasons I avoid shopping there...

when I have coupons, I use self serve. Even if the coupons says, don;t double, the self serve always does.

Here I have to watch scanner as well, but as we don't coupons I don't have that problem. But at one supermarket chain they don't even let you see what they are ringing up so you need to be extra careful when shopping there.

As I do check all dockets before I leave the area in all supermarkets, ithat I can be seen from the checkouts by the staff which can be advantage at times too!

Last time I went there, I bought Fruit & Nut Mix which was on a Thursday & sales alway start on Monday's here. So on checking the docket I was charged full price and not special price in the catalogue for that week. So I end up getting it for Free. They were not happy that I did pick it up I would think, so how many others had gone through paying full price.
