when e.g. tesco accidentally overcharge, (they seem to be increasing their "errors"),
Would you go back if you were overcharged 20p or less on an item?

If the store charged you 1cent over, they are obligated to refund you. Personally, if the store is further than walking distance, I would only go back for a refund if it were 5 dollars and over. Sometimes it only takes a phone call and they will write your name down and you'll have a credit whenever you return. This has happened to me with great results!

I see you're from England, but I live in America and it doesn't matter what the price was.. if you were accidentally overcharged, then the store owes you money. With attitudes like the girl who answered who works in customer service, I'd take my business elsewhere. I recently bought a can of water chestnuts and found out they were over a year past the expiration date. Though they didn't cost much, I did return them to the store to show them so they could remove the other items on the shelf with the same date. One grocery store I used to shop at would give you your item free if it rang up the wrong price. That's great customer service and I'd still be shopping there today if I hadn't moved to another state.

Yes, I would, and I have. I shop about everyday anyway so it's no hassle. I just go back the next day with the item and the receipt. I don't care how much I was overcharged, I think it needs to be brought to the attention of the store so they can fix it. And they always refund my money and apologize. (Safeway) Usually it's that I bought my groceries before the computers had been updated for the day/week.

1) No, in the long run they do note due to the following: a) Credit card companies charge interest and fees on accounts that are late. Therefore the card will have a high interest rate (probably around 20%) if late and a late fee of around 20--30 USD per month. b) Credit card companies report your late payments to the Credit Bureaus. If you don't start paying them within 60 days they could send your account ot a collection agency. Your credit card account could be listed as a "collection account" (which would be a negative on your credit history). c) If you have a bad history and you try to buy a house, purchase a car w/ payments (car loan), school loan, etc, they will usually check your credit report. If they see this collection account they may request you pay the account before giving you the loan! Therefore in the long run you will be stuck with all those fees Therefore: a) Pay your credit card on time. Pay the balance in full if possible. Pay more than the minimum if possible. b) Charge only what you can afford. c) Don't sign up for so many credit cards. Pablo

The amount doesn't matter it is what causes you to be disastified.
If you knew the issue at the time you were making the purchase you wouldn't go through with it.
If the faulty goods are perishables then I just freeze them until I next visit the store.

I would go back for any amount to sound them out so that they know that I check and will be careful with their work.
They maybe doing it deliberately and just imagine the amount they would collect if shoppers do not verify the errors.

Well, I would only take stuff back if it was at least £5 I got overcharged by, it is only a couple of quid afterall.
I work in a shop on customer services and some people want refunds on a couple of pence and I just think "get a life, how can you be so tight?".
