A Walmart customer has gone viral for warning shoppers about price markups in the checkout line.
Brenna, a baker who goes by @brennasbakery on TikTok, told buyers to beware after a shopping trip on July 29. Her video detailed the discrepancy between marked prices and the charges a cashier rang up when she was checking out.
Less than a week later, over a dozen Walmart stores in North Carolina were fined by the state for charging the wrong prices.
“Walmart is scamming people,” Brenna said in the video with 320,000 views.
“I ran there for a few things to get a cake for,” she explained. “Online, I searched Wilton chocolates. They were $2.62 online. I went to the store, in the aisle it said that they were $2.62. I went to ring them up and they were ringing up for $4.00 each.”
Alarmed, Brenna brought up the disparity to the cashier.
“She rang them up and she price-adjusted them down,” said Brenna. “I then proceeded to watch her ring up the rest of my stuff and there were another five things that were ringing up higher than they were online and in the store.”
The frustrated shopper said she saw only one explanation for this pattern.
“They’re scamming you,” she said. “They’re purposefully marking up prices. They’re not telling you because most people are not going to check that when they’re checking out.”
I don’t know if it’s intentional. But someone is not doing price upgrades with the tags. I could believe that. Some things don’t even have a price tag. The Walmart operation is about as unorganized as it gets.
They been doing this crap for years
Wake up people
They have been RAPEING shoppers with their Overpriced Mark-ups which = GOUGING !!!!!
Area manager should FIRE the store manager when ONLY ONE check-out register is Open !!!
Should ALWAYS have at least 4 OPEN ALL TIMES !!!!
NO more ILLEGAL stopping customers who just PAID for their stuff at the EXIT Door !!!!!
The North Walmart is the worst run store of any I have ever been in. Shelves are empty. Employees shoving big carts around getting groceries for those who choose not to do it themselves. The carts are all a disaster. Child seat belts broken. Carts wobble and pull to one side. Carts rattle like a jalopy . I would think that Walmart could afford to replace their carts every 15 or 20 years or so. It’s disgraceful. If they even have a manager. he/she should be fired pronto!!!
I know there fruit and vegestable at times in Thomasville @times have been wrong when you go through checkout or self checkout
