After the first night (in a dirty and unsafe room) we checked out. They charged us once for the one night and then for the 2 nights we did not stay (to the tune of $141.96). I had my curtains drycleaned at Safeway. ( Four simple panels ) The cashier keep looking at the tickets and pressing numbers on the resigter then said $265. They were suppose to be $63 for the whole thing but she did it times 4. Lastly, this was my dd. She had been seen a doctor for an ankle problem. They sent her a bill for $475. No mention of the $149 she already paid them. One item was not showing that the insurance paid so that was another $71. Check your bills and receipts.

Wow, good for you for catching all those mistakes. Sometimes think that computerization of every transaction leads to more problems than the human errors in simple mathematical calculations that we dealt with years ago.

My big "catch" this week was to the tune of $4 at Staples where someone forgot to remove the sales flyer from a product that was no longer on sale. Since I didn't see the mistake until I was in the car, had to take items back into store, have items price checked, re-rung, manager approved, etc., etc....
