How to avoid being overcharged at the checkout in Batumi supermarkets?

TL;DR

Checkout mistakes happen at Vill Mart and Nikora supermarkets in Batumi — items get scanned at higher prices or extra units get charged, so always check your receipt right at the register before leaving; getting a refund can take time and arguing.

At a Vill Mart store, a customer was charged 30 GEL for a photo frame priced at 15 GEL — noticed only when checking the total receipt, had to go back and spend about 30 minutes sorting out the refund.

At a Nikora store, a customer bought 3 cans of beer but got charged for 5 — the cashier initially refused to admit the mistake or refund the difference.

At a local supermarket, a customer was charged double for wine — 60 GEL instead of 30 GEL for what should have been one bottle's price applied to two — noticed immediately by checking the receipt right after paying.
