Todays trip to Publix was a crazy one.  They were super busy and then when i checked out the cashier got all my coupons mixed up while scanning them so he missed 5 of them for a total of $5.50.  Normally if it is just change I dont worry about it but $5.50 i had to go back to customer service and get my money back.
