Title: Groceries
Post by: melodylogan45 on October 15, 2017, 03:03:49 am
Have you ever went to the grocery store bought groceries
left out of the store,  made it all the way home, sat down and
and relaxed for a few moments before putting up the groceries
to realize something is missing from your grocery bag that you
purchased.

Seeing that you are probably tired, did you call the store
and inform  them and then go right back to the store to get
The item or did you say forget it.

depends on how much the item cost.  for a few bucks I'll just get the item next time I go shopping.

Yes, ocasionally happily found that I left an item in the car.

Have left stuff at the store, but I usually use the "you bag" line, and I am very careful to put everything in the bags and cart.

I even (groan) left my wallet there one time. Thank God, an honest person turned it in, and I went and picked it up.

It is sooo easy to be pre-occupied, and forget something.

I usually call the store no matter what...  Often they will save the item and put it off to the side (Or in a cooler) for the next time I'm in to pick the item up.  I used to do this when my kids were small and I was rushing to get through the check out lane.  Since I now work in a grocery store - I'm always "back" and never have a problem reclaiming things if left behind...as long as I have the receipt.

This happened to me about a month ago.  I went to Wal-Mart and bought a half gallon of milk.  When I got home  I didn't have the milk.  I had left it at the store.

This has happened to me before at least a couple times. I don't live far from store, so I just go and get it.

it has happened a couple of times but I realized it before I left the parking lot. what alsohappens to me is that when  get home I realize that they double charged me for an item. It is taken care of the next time I am in the shop. :rose: :pumpkin: :peace: :wave:

I just had that happen recently. All I did was call the store and tell them something was left out of my bag. The manager told me to circle the item and put her name on the receipt. When I went to the grocery store on my regular shopping day the next week, I just took the receipt up to customer service and they let me go get the item without being charged again. Thankfully it wasn't something I absolutely had to have the week before.:thumbsup:

Yeah that has happened to me, I called the grocery store and told them, I didn't get a  certain item and they told me it was waiting for me and to come back and get it, but also took my receipt.

That has happened occasionally.  I will generally call the store to let them know I will stop by the next time I am in the area to retrieve my missing items.  I make sure I write down the person's name that I spoke to and hang on to my receipt!

I hate that! If it's something small I'll just forget it. I hate to lose that money but it's not worth the hassle, time, gas to come back and get something that cost a few dollars.

I hate it when that happens, and it tends to be an expensive-ish item, too. Grrrrr.

Yes, but thankfully it doesn't happen often. Last time it was only one item, but it was a few pounds of fresh meat... they were nice enough to credit back my card (since the store was a good 20 minutes away) and even sent me an additional gift card for neglecting to put the bag in my cart.

The worst part is when it's the cashier's fault. I bought a birthday card -- I wanna say it was around $10 -- and the cashier put it next to her register rather than in my bag. So, it was totally her fault, I left and went all the way home. No card!! I went back, and the woman at the customer service desk was like "You forgot your card."

"No, I didn't forget the cart. The cashier forgot it!!"

But I live in a small town where customer service is often horrible so it's not surprising. Just annoying!!

NO, I would probably let go if a small item and just pick up next time but if it was more pricey I would call the store.

It happens to me more often than I would like to admit. Fortunately I don't live too far from grocery stores.

When I go to a store, I carry a list.  If I didn't I would not purchase the item that I went there for.  Yes, there were times that I may have forgotten, but never went back to pick it up.

I once found a case of water under a carriage that someone left . That is so bulky I can't see how they forgot that :peace:

I shop almost every day because there is a limited amount I can carry in so if I was to be missing something I would take my receipt in and tell them the next time I went in - rarely happens but I have shopped at my store so many years they always take my word for everything.

I usually call the store. They ask what register I was on and then they tell me yes, it's here. It happens to me a lot at Walmart lol They just save it for me next time...

My teenage children have a bad habit of forgetting to grab the last bag.  I always call the store, and they let me pick it up next time I go in.

Post by: davissy on November 03, 2017, 09:10:08 pm
I hate it when that happens!  If I'm still in the parking lot, I go back for it.  If I'm already home or on the way home I usually just give up.  It's usually not worth the time for me to drive back for it.

This happened to me before where I bought something and it was missing in my grocery bag. The store apologized and hand me the item I paid for that that was missing.

I have done that, I called and it was handled easily by the manager, I just took in the receipt with the time of my call and managers name next time I went in I just picked it up.
