    When you have several items then it becomes difficult to keep track of things especially if there is a queue of people behind you
    If we all did all these suggested checks then all of us will do far more standing around in queues than we do already.
    It's the shops that need to get their own house in order by double checking things before they are passed on to the customer.
    I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

    Well, maybe you do your weekly shop with a calculator, and writing down all the individual item prices, then check each thing as it's scanned and ask for a pre-receipt to be printed out before paying so you can check off each item one by one.

    But pretty sure nobody does that.
    Did you notice that the OP wasn't doing his weekly shop?
    He was in a specialist music shop.

    I know that, but the principle is the same.
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.
