“We’ve looked into this transaction and can confirm that the total of $17.90 was correct, however the mango price of 80 cents each that appeared on the screen was incorrect due to a technical error — they were on clearance for $1.90 each,” the Woolworths spokesperson told 7NEWS.com.au.

“We understand why this customer was concerned and we apologise for the confusion caused. Our team resolved this with the customer in-store, providing the mangoes free of charge.

Seems pretty straightforward and had a good resolution.

I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.

It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.

It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.

What a garbage article. I assume this is a bit reporting, otherwise please don't post crap like this from bad news sources.

This is just how it works in the US and Canada, though.

Tempest in a teapot.

Did they call someone over when they saw the discrepancy? Because, you know, mistakes happen.

I frequently have something not scan, or not come up right. There's a button for help, there's always someone right there anyway, hell, had a clerk walk up and help when he noticed I hit the wrong button. They pay attention.

"I was annoyed"... That a system misreported something? If I was annoyed every time that happened I'd never not be annoyed.

What's with this sudden "self checkout rage bait" this week? Who's pushing what agenda?

Ignoring the price discount on the mangos, the answer here is sales tax, right? Because otherwise it would be $15.70. It's a bad design that tax amounts don't show up on the itemized screen (but probably on the final screen after that).

Tell me if anyone knows for sure, otherwise I'm going to assume that's the issue...

EDIT: Thank you folks, asked and answered! Then, I'm back to being very confused...

The last 4 scanned items listed on screen but “5” items scanned. I’d dare say the fifth items that isn’t shown on screen accounts for the difference?

We are living in the future!

Got to give it to the Somali Pirates... That's some next level marketing:

"This appears to be an isolated incident at our MacArthur Metro store, involving the clearance price of a batch of our Calypso Mangoes."
