Convenience-store receipts are worth a second look

Newser flagged that it can pay to check your receipts at convenience-store chains. The piece points to scanner and pump-price errors that run against the customer at the register.

For operators the exposure is narrow and specific: point-of-sale and pump-meter accuracy. Weights-and-measures complaints and scanner-price mismatches are what draw state inspectors and chargebacks, so the item is a reminder to keep price-book updates and meter calibration current.
