Reason #48371 to always keep your debit card receipts until you actually reconcile the receipts to your bank statement: I ordered wings and QuePappas from Pizza Hut on 5/25. Total sale amount should have been $13.64. The amount actually charged to my checking account?

$90.64!

Fortunately, I had the receipt with me. A quick call to the store’s manager, plus the information on the receipt, allowed him to quickly track down the order ticket and provide me with a refund. Moral of the story: always check both your receipts and bank statements when using a debit card. This could’ve gone by totally unnoticed if I hadn’t been paying attention.
