Wegmans glitch double-charges credit card users: 'Check your bank account'

A glitch in the Wegmans system one day in August impacted both in-store and online orders, the company said.

Shoppers who frequent the popular grocery store Wegmans Food Markets should check their credit card statement after company officials confirmed that they were likely double-charged for their in-store or online purchases.

According to officials, credit card transactions were impacted for transaction processed on August 16 at all of Wegmans' more than 110 locations across the United States

Officials said that EBT and debit card transactions using a PIN were not affected by the costly mistake unless they were processed as credit at the customer's request. 

Shoppers took to social media to share their disappointed in the grocery store chain.

Another users advised shoppers to, "check your bank statements."

Wegmans noted that the issue has been identified, and they are working with processors to reverse the charges.

Customers should see the duplicate charges reversed in the upcoming days depending on their bank or issuer, a company spokesperson noted.
