I mentally add up the costs in my basket as I shop, rounding up to the nearest dollar. I usually don't bother with the tax on taxable goods, but add a dollar or two to my tally if I have several items that are taxable.
I am usually within a dollar of the final checkout price. I watch the tally on the computer display and it is almost always exactly correct, unless Walmart is discounting something at the register to match a competitor prices, as they advertise.
Once, I came home, checked my receipt while putting things away and discovered I had not been charged at all for 4 items. Once, at a Walmart where I have shopped several times a week for a decade, and in my favor, to boot!
FWIW, in my town, the worst leftist gripes are switching from Walmart to Walgreen. Seems Walgreen is opening a large store right next to our organic food coop. The most popular items at the outrageously expensive coop are homeopathics that aren't carried anywhere else within 45 miles....except at Walgreen!!! The b!tch about Walgreen is that they are "Big Business". Yet the co-op cost over one million dollars to build, used exclusively large unionized contractor labor and is the outlet for a multimillion dollar organic dairy. The dairy has received multimillions in state ag grants over 20 years, tax incentives from every municipality in which it operates, pays 6% on class B shares over $5k and it pays employees well, but no more than any other business in the industry and area. It is not unionized.
It is always about money and competition. Leftists adore capitalism if it is skewed in their favor.
