      Hello On Thursday 7/4/24 i bought a total of 5 WWE pro wrestling DVDs. Ive attached a photo of the 5 i bought. I did just get home and looked at the store receipt and they charged me twice for 1 DVDs. They must have scanned it twice so I got charged twice. I only bought 1 of Wwe summer slam 2023 UPC. 8-10733455 but was charged twice. It should be 6.99 plus tax but i was charged a total of $13.98 plus tax. Is it possible to refund the extra DVD charge or send me a gift card for big lots for that amount. $7.55 as its not fair I'm losing out on 7.55 due to a scanning issue my the cashier. I already reported this to big lots through their website when I got back home on 7/4/24 and they have failed to reply to me about this issue.Please let me know.
