The problem with POS equipment is not the equipment itself, but that someone has to tell the back end computer the correct price of the item. It has happened to me many times where the wrong price rings up at the register.
If you are concerned about getting a certain price for an item. Make sure that you:
- Check that the price tag is attached before going to the register.
- Check all the sale signs and find the correct sale price for your item.
- Make a mental note, or bring a pencil and paper to note down correct prices and WHERE you found the item. This helps if they need to send an associate back to check.
- DON’T be embarrassed to make people wait and get the correct price. It is your right.
