A woman took to Facebook to talk about a really odd charge she found on a receipt from Walmart.
Sharon Bufford went grocery shopping at her local Walmart and didn’t even think to look at the receipt until she got home and put her groceries away.
When she found a charge she had no idea about, she instantly called the store:

Clearly Bufford wasn’t happy about this, and is warning other people on social media. Some of the responses to her post from people in retail explain the charge in a different way:

All of you consumers who do not know… All you have to do is ask the manager to watch the video to see what the item is. This type of hand key item happens all the time. I have never been unable to figure out what the item was. 100 percent of the time and it was always something the customer was trying to purchase.
Goodness people. This is a hand keyed item. Something that didn’t have a barcode. I work at a Walmart and there isn’t a “ghost item.” She bought a jacket and the cashier misspelled it.

Of it has an x by it the employee put it on the receipt by typing it in.
What’s funny is, to fix it, all they have to do is delete PLU 1 from their system. If you look at the receipt, the cashier hit 1 and enter. Most likely thinking they were putting in a quantity for the previous item. I was a Scan Coordinator for 4 years and there is a PLU for produce items and such. Bananas for instance are PLU 4011. You’d hit 4011 Enter. Well if you hit 1 Enter, that 10.00 charge will come up.
It’s not clear if the post is valid or not but this woman certainly thinks something is fishy with the charge she paid.
No matter where you shop, you should always check your receipt, preferably before you leave the store.
