Wal-Mart to pay $3 if price-scanning errors occur

November 25, 2008

The state and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. have reached a settlement that will reward consumers who experience price-scanning errors at Wal-Mart stores. Under the settlement announced today in San Diego by state Attorney General Jerry Brown, “Wal-Mart will give customers $3 back when pricing mistakes are found at the cash register.”

 

In late 2005, the attorney general’s office began investigating allegations that Wal-Mart stores in California were scanning items at higher prices than those advertised on store shelves and signs. Investigators said random price-checking statewide found that 164 Wal-Mart Stores in 30 counties had made scanning errors. On average, customers who were overcharged paid an extra $8.40 at checkout.

 

The state’s list of checkout errors included $2.00 overcharge for woven shirts in Sacramento County in early 2007.
