Check Those Receipts
So I've noticed that shops don't automatically give receipts anymore. When I'm asked if I would like a receipt, I always say yes. Here's a good reason why: Monday I went into Lidl and bought a dozen or so items. Paid by card. Got home and checked receipt only to find I'd been overcharged by nearly £17.00. A technical…
