When I get stuck in thoughts like this sometimes I find it helpful to ask myself “how sure are you that you have absolutely all the information about this situation?” Sure, it’s an easy out because the answer is almost always no, but it’s also been helpful in stopping me from jumping to (wrong) conclusions and allowing me to go back with curiosity vs judgement. You didn’t say if you had the receipt or if you were looking at the register screen, or they only scanned 3 of the packages. Maybe they hit the multiple button on one of the scans? Weird, sure, but it happens. Sometimes screens can be hard to follow especially if the content changes bases on subsequent items, like something that’s $1.50 or 4 for $5 might change price once the 4th is hit or might get lumped into one line item vs 4 individual lines. If you have the receipt it’s going to be hard to argue with that what’s printed on that but it’s also not the whole story. We don’t know if it was a mistake or maybe they enjoy doing this as an act of rebellion in a job they hate. I know this sounds absurd and probably isn’t helpful right now. I hope you feel better about this soon.
