People Are So Mad at Walmart For ‘Double-Charging’ Customers–Again!
January 8, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
Just weeks after a TikToker went viral for accusing Walmart of ‘price gouging’ and amping up their grocery prices, the department store chain is now allegedly ‘double-charging’ customers once again.
As reported by 13 News, Walmart shoppers in Topeka, Kansas were shocked to see noticeably higher totals on their grocery bills in the past week, and several customers revealed that they were, as Best Life writes, “double-taxed on food items that they purchased—and sent their receipts to the outlet as proof.”
Here’s what we know:
Jim and Cheryl Wilmington were among the affected customers, and they told 13 News that they noticed something strange when it came to their total after recently shopping at Walmart.
“When we left the store, we were kind of surprised at how much it seemed like it was and we kind of bantered stuff back and forth trying to figure it out,” Jim said.
“And when we got home and started doing the math, they ended up charging us double tax on all the food is what it boils down to in the end.” The Wilmingtons, as 13 News reported, tried to contact their Walmart in North Topeka, but their call was unanswered.
