Our local Kroger stores have scanners you can carry with you while you shop. As you add items to your cart you scan them and it shows the pricing on the screen. As you have already scanned your shopper's card or Kroger app QR code prior to beginning to shop, it calculates prices and discounts as you go. I rarely see anyone but myself using these things. People are dumb; they think "why should I do the job that cashier's are paid to do". Well, because it's so much easier to "checkout" as you add items to your cart ensuring the prices are correct. When the prices are not correct, I simply stop by Customer Service and point out the incorrect prices before I press the Pay button. They fix the prices, then I pay.
I have watched grocery prices like a hawk for 25 years at least. I used to keep track of incorrect prices on a spreadsheet. Annually it averaged $681 in incorrect prices stores tried to charge me. That's two months of food in my budget. Yes, you have to watch prices closely, particularly now that computers handle all of these register updates in nightly batches. You would think the problem would get better over time; I assure you, it has gotten much worse.
