Do You Shop at Walmart?

I'm embarassed to say that sometimes I do shop at Walmart. It's just the cheapest place around to buy cat food. And, you know, when I'm in there, I might pick up a few things for the house, groceries, whatever.

Then I hear a story on NPR this morning about how Walmart "accidentally" overcharged customers 2 or 3 times for transactions made on the 31st of March.

Shit. Did I go I to Walmart on the 31st? Probably. I go online and check my credit card statement and sure enough, there's a charge for $30.72. But what the hell did I buy? I can't remember. I can barely remember what I did yesterday let alone last week. Did I keep the receipt? Hell no. I use the Walmart plastic bags when I clean the litter box, so the receipt is probably decomposing with a bunch of litter encrusted cat fecal matter.

Hopefully Walmart will correct it's little problem shortly.

if you were one of their victims, you would have seen the same amount multiple times and the supposedly credited back all the errors on Friday.
