While it should be noted, not every items was overcharged, in facts, there were some instances of undercharging at the self-checkout lanes. According to Walmart, there was a glitch in their system, which wouldn't place the correct price on items at their self check outs.

This includes items such as food, technology and clothing.

Walmart did respond to the incident, saying that a reimbursement to customers that may have been overcharged at the registers would happen.

So if you were overcharged, no worries, it looks like Walmart is doing justice for you.

However, it should be noted, that stores such as Target have decreased the usage on self-checkouts do to theft and crimes happening at self-checkouts. Customers were either neglecting to scan their items or forgetting to, leading to a high level of theft from the store.

Could Walmart be following in suit, trying to protect their assets?
