When shopping at the grocery stores, I almost always carry a pen or 
a marker and mark the price on the item on the surface opposite the 
UPC so I can watch the register as the item is scanned.  I've found
more inaccuracies at Kroger than at Big Bear...and I doubt that they
change the computer when the error is discovered.

BUT the place that I've had the most wrong charges are at the UDF's.
Here the prices are on the items, but when they have specials, they 
do not change the price tag...they simply post the sign and you really
have to watch what is rung up.  
	
Often, the cashiers don't even realize an item is on sale...or so they
say.  

I would suspect Aldi's may have a few errors, too, but I've never caught
one. They  also do not scan and the prices are not marked on the item,
but it is up to the cashier to remember all the prices...and they are 
fast.
