Posting this as a PSA: I am a frequent shopper at whole foods friendship heights and over the past six weeks have had a series of fraudulent charges on my receipts. First, I was charged for two extra gallons of milk, then I was charged for 14 oranges when I had only purchased two. Yesterday, I was charged incorrectly for peaches. I fortunately read my receipts--and have reported it each time but it's starting to seem like more than an innocent mistake. Each charge has been about $10-15 extra--which adds up!
I've decided to stop shopping there but wanted to flag for folks. |

| Seems like negligence rather than fraud. Still, it's definitely a good idea for everyone to check their receipts. |

| I always watch like a hawk when they are ringing up my stuff and usually manage to catch the rare slip-up. This sounds annoying though. Do they have a lot of new cashiers? |

| I shop at another WF and very often catch an error. The largest was when they double charged for a $29 piece of fish! Gotta watch 'em like a hawk! |

My husband ALWAYS checks his receipt at the Bethesda Whole Foods (River Rd) right after paying. He goes there every week. He catches an error perhaps once every 3 months. I sometimes shop at the Rockville Whole Foods (Rockville Pike) and mistakes there are also rare. OP, I think these "mistakes" made at Friendship Heights are way above the norm, and are perhaps deliberate. You should talk to the manager if you haven't already done so. |

| At friendship heights was charged for two 15-bottle cases of sparkling water instead of 12-bottle cases. Was refunded the difference when I brought it up on a return trip but was annoying. |

| Georgetown WF has sold us expired meat and dairy that has gone bad before expiration date. |

| Op here: ive brought it to the managers attention but still having issues. This has happened way too many times to just be negligence. Pretty shady.... |

| I have had this happen to me as well, at that whole foods as well as the one in Rockville. I don't think it's an accident. |

Whole Foods has been doing this for years in many states. They get caught, pay a fine, go back to doing it again. I quit going there after getting charged double on some items more than a few times.
Everyone talks bad about Walmart but they never do this. F Whole Paycheck.

| Op here: if I was going to try to report this to a state/national entity--who would I file a complaint with? |
