I am constantly being overcharged for my grocery's at the Marlborough MA Price Chopper. There are at the very least two to three overcharges every time I shop there. I shopped there today and found one overcharge at the deli and when I got home found another overcharge that amounts to almost three dollars. I don't feel that I can shop there any longer. The programmer is doing a very poor job and for a very long time. I have brought this to the attention of friends and family and found the same opinion. I know I can go back for the refund however this is a great inconvience for me.
Not only is it an inconvience to go back for a refund but it can cost you too, look at the price of gas. Does Price Chopper give you something extra when you go back to the store because of THEIR error?
Hey, question. If anyone knows the answer. There's the Walmart supercenter in Glenville, with the groceries. And there is a limited selection of stuff here at the Rotterdam Walmart, not a supercenter. Are the grocery prices at the Rotterdam store the same price as the Glenville store....for the same items, of course?
I don't know how Wal-Mart does their marketing research. Most retail businesses use to check the general economic status of a community that they are thinking of moving in to and price their products accordingly. That is the way it use to be done. I don't know if they still practice this theory.
Incorrect pricing is common at Price Chopper. It has happened to me and just about everyone else I know. There is one woman that I know, that checks here entire register tape before she leaves that register. And she said that 9 times out of 10, there is an error.
I don't generally go to Wal-Mart for grocery shopping, so I couldn't tell you on prices. Personally, I think I have slashed my grocery bill quite a bit by going over to Price Rite. They make you pay for bags and pack your own groceries, but I like to pack my own groceries, and I help them and myself by taking some of their empty boxes instead of paying for their bags. I put out the boxes for recycling, and I don't use the oil that the plastic bag is made of...and my prices are lower, generally.
NONE of the prices on everything in every store of every chain are the same.....they do market research and 'soak' the area for what they think is 'worth' it./ as for being charged wrong prices----it happens all the time, we accepted it when scanners were introduced and that is how national healthcare will be run too......we will have to go back to get our youth returned because we didn't count on that after our surgery.....
things we dont understand fully we dont understand fully----boy, everytime I research something I age.......that is what will happen to Rotterdam everytime we 'study'.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I was kind of wondering because I noticed that the Rotterdam store has rather high prices for milk, still over four dollars a gallon for their own brand amd just across the parking lot, even brand name milk is less at Hannaford. And soda too, at Rotterdam is $1.48 per two liter for Pepsi and only $1.33 at Hannaford. I wonder if the Glenville store, only a few miles away, is different in prices
