Overcharging by supermarket

Came back from CVO last Monday and wanted to tell people that I was disappointed to be again overcharged at the Alisuper on the one way road into the village (close to the sports shop). The lady overcharged me 2 Euros on a bill of 5! Didn't realise until I got back to the car but this time I went back and she had rung some wine onto the receipt by mistake. As she was serving a local with some tobacco before me this seems unlikely. The same lady overcharged me last time I went in there but I did not go back last time. I will now not go there again - has this happened to anyone else?

Happened to me at the Intermarche last year. When we got back to the villa I thought the bill was a bit high and on checking I noticed an item at 78 euros. I couldnt translate the item so next day took the bill back to the supermarket.
They said it looked as if I had bought 55 kilos of carrots, and fell about laughing. They said there must have been a fault with the scanning machine and they happily refunded me.

Oldest trick in the book.

There was a shopkeeper in a convenience store in Liverpool that kept a tin of salmon by the till and if you had more than a few items he would charge you for it, never actually putting it in your bag though. If a shopper happened to notice and return he would simply apologise and refund, he made a fortune.Most of his victims had just popped out of the office in their lunch hour and very busy.

I personally haven,t been overcharged in and around CVO, unless I didn't notice, but it is interesting to hear of such instances. Have any locals experienced any overcharging at this shop or any other?
