Is anyone else constantly overcharged at victorias secret?

[disneyofcourse]

I've got one question for ya- Has anyone else constantly been overcharged at victorias secret? I have been to about 3 different victorias in two states just in this year and every time I was overcharged. (A total of 6 times of me buying things from those 3 locations) Without fail they would ring up the most expensive bra twice instead of scanning each item. They would charge me for an extra panty if I was buying a ton of them. (like maybe I wouldn't notice?) They have rung up the most expensive panties in place of scanning the clearly less expensive ones. Or they wouldn't ring up one pair of undies for that i'd be paying more overall instead of the 5/25 or similar deal. Also, I paid cash once and never again. I gave her 4 $20's with the total being $64.XX and she was trying to only give me back $5 and change... They had three people involved in trying to figure out how much cash back i'd get. Is it just me? I have yet to be charged correctly this whole year.

Not a VS shopper, but I have been short changed 3 times in the last week. The last one was at a drive through, total was 4.25, she handed me 4.75 in change, I said that is not right, it should be $5.75, she took it back and actually counted it out to me. Handed me the .75 said $5 and as she was handing me the singles, counted 6,7,8,10! I told her I think you forgot 9.

Wow! I only order VS bras and I only order them online. So no, I haven't been overcharged but I wonder...

Flame suit on ... I sometimes think that the "younger" people in retail stores aren't as good as they used to be. I am going to blame the computers for that. I'm not THAT old but I started working in a grocery store when I was 17 on those old push-button registers. You had to know a lot more back then (what is taxable, what is not, what is prepared food and not able to be paid by food stamps, etc.). Now that computers do the work, I think that we just don't have to know as much which leads to more and more mistakes. I have seen it! But I won't bore you with the details.

P.S. - I'm only 35 ... I'm feeling old by telling you all this so I feel it necessary to state that ... dammit.

No flames here, I think you're right. I have been a bartender for a long time, since before computer type registers became so common. Making change in my head is just something that I am used to doing, so it comes pretty easily to me. I am constantly suprised by cashiers and salespeople or people that I work with that have to have the cash register "tell" them how much change to give back to the customer for a cash transaction. I think that maybe they are just not teaching basic math skills in school anymore.

I am 31 by the way...
