Walmart’s Statement
Walmart released a statement, commenting, “We immediately began looking into this issue when it was brought to our attention and want to assure customers at our Clinton store that they are only being charged for items they purchase. We isolated the problem our customer experienced to an incorrect product barcode that one of our cashiers entered as she was checking out.”

According to Walmart, “The issue was immediately resolved, and as a precaution, we’re training the store’s associates on what to look for should anything like that happen again and ensuring none of our other stores are affected.”
Paying Her Back
The primary reason for Sharon’s call with the customer representative was to get a $10 refund. Fortunately, this was processed right away. Sharon was able to receive the refund after several business days. As for Walmart, well, they released a statement. The Walmart statement went on to say, “we reimbursed the customer for the incorrect charge, apologized to her, and appreciate that she brought this to our attention.”

That official statement was pretty professional and calm, indicating that they may not take legal action against Sharon. This is a huge benefit on her part, as facing a big company might not be the best situation to be in.
