According to consumerworld.org, two out of 100 grocery items scanned get recorded at the wrong price. Add that up over a year's time and scanning errors can end up being quite costly. It always pays to keep an eye on the scanner. If you feel like you are holding up the line, at least scan the receipt before you leave the store. You can just push your cart away from the counter a bit, but to where the cashier can see you. If you spot a problem, ask for it to be corrected, even if it is a small amount.
