>>Does anyone else have this problem with Meijer's?  Any other store?

Yep, have that problem all the time at Meijer's.  So bad, that if I'm
the only one in line, I'll make the cashier wait to start scanning my
groceries until I can watch.  I catch an average of 3 items saving
myself about $1.50 every trip.  I have only once caught an error in my
favor.
Last week's trip had these errors: 4 cans of Tuna - $20+ (was marked
5.40$ rather than .54), Crackers on sale for .50 off rang regular
price, Fruit juice rang $1.98 rather than 1.89.  Note that only one
error was due to sale pricing.
When Meijers first opened here and I pointed those out the cashier
filled out a form to turn in to have it corrected.  After a while that
stopped.  I asked a cashier why.  She responded "Slowed us down to
much we were filling out too many."  
The only reason I continue to shop Meijers is that the errors are
everywhere, the always correct the pricing cheerfully, and they are
closer than ant other store by a good 2 miles.
