make sure you check your receipts

I know I saw a thread about the glitch in the Target computers, but couldn't find it again. Anyway, I went today and bought 10 Air Wick Candles, 5 Glade Candles, 6 Swiss Hot Cocoa Mix. I used 3/1 on the Air Wicks, 1/1 on the Glade , and 1/1 on the Swiss and also used a $5 GC

I watched her scan every single coupon and it looked like it was taking them off, but when she got done, my total was $9 higher than it should have been. I paid , then checked my receipt only to discover that 3 of the Air Wicks did not come off even though they scanned. I just told her and she checked my receipt and took care of it right away and gave me back $9. She didn't understand what had happened and I just played dumb and didn't try to explain to her that the computers had some kind of wierd $10 Q glitch


It really makes me wonder how many people have been cheated out of their money at Target.

Forgot to add that I did end up only paying $4.96 OOP $2.46 of that was tax, and got back a $5 GC, so it ended up being a great trip.

I have been doing....product then coupon, product Then coupon at Target. Are you saying...that even if I do it that way....It's possible coupons are still not registering???

I honestly don't know about that, I handed her mine at the end. But, when she scanned them, they would scan and show on the screen,-$3. I was paying close attention to make sure , but when she was done, three of the 3/1 were missing. Also, I thought it was kind of weird, they weren't auto adjusting.


Maybe next time, I will try the product, then coupon, thanks for the suggestion.

I saw somewhere else that targets computers have been cheating customers alot lately it was even in the news. And I think someone even has a lawsuit I think dont quote me on that cause Im not a hundred percent sure..

[CW&M Mom]

Ya...I do it that way...so I can check each time to make sure the money came off. For me it's too complicated at the end...and anytime something isn't working...we have to pull out the product...ect.

I also staple the manu with the target coupon...to help keep things straight. Probably drives them nuts LOL

Is it possible the cashier had just missed a few? like they stuck together or something??.

[CW&M Mom]

Oh I also noticed none were auto adjusting AND

I had the $3 off 3 J&J, purell ect coupons...and that one actually worked right. I was so darn nervous that that one would totally be messed up...and only take 99 cents off of 1.

instead it worked perfectly...and didn't auto adjust...woot! Free First Aid kits!

[Mama Stu]

No, she didn't miss any. I stood and counted as she scanned them, just didn't pay attention enough to notice that the amount didn't come off right. None of mine auto adjusted either.

I bought 4 Airwick candles. The cashier scanned them, but then looked at the screen and they hadn't come off. So she did it again and again until all 4 came off.
If I hadn't known what was going on, I would have thought she'd scanned about 10 or 12 coupons - she just kept rescanning until 4 showed up.
She was obviously aware of the potential problem.

Maybe it's something with how the airwick is coded?
