at Dalhousie University released Tuesday shows that 67 per cent of Canadians have found a mistake on their grocery store bill at least once over the past year.“A lot of people just don’t look at grocery receipts. … They may actually be leaving money behind,” Sylvain Charlebois, the lab’s director, told Global News.
Nearly half of those surveyed for the report said they always check their grocery receipts for errors. “If you’re walking around the grocery store looking for bargains, it may just be an illusion if you’re not checking your receipt as you exit the store,” Charlebois says. When a grocery item drops below a certain threshold, it can be taxed as a “snack,” he says, adding he thinks the 9.2 per cent of improperly taxed items is an underestimate.The report found that some 84 per cent of shoppers who find an error on their receipt end up complaining about that mistake.Story continues below advertisement
