My grocery budget almost blew up at the self-checkout last Tuesday

I was at the Kroger on Maple Street, and I had my $75 cash envelope ready to go. I scanned everything, but then the machine said my total was $112. I mean, I panicked for a second, but I made myself stop and look at the screen. Turns out I'd scanned a pack of fancy cheese twice by accident. I voided it, paid with my cash, and still had $12 left. Has anyone else had a close call like that where checking the screen saved you?

Glad you caught that double scan.

My buddy had that happen last week at the grocery store. He was so annoyed, @rowanb16. Took him forever to get the charge reversed.

Three credit card companies actually flag those double charges automatically now.
