If you're a frequent Wegman's shopper, you might want to check your receipts.

The grocery store has confirmed that customers who made credit card transactions on August 16 may have been double charged due to a system error, the cause of which is still unknown.

"Some credit card transactions were inadvertently charged twice for their order," the grocery chain said in a segment regarding both online and in-store purchases, per local outlet CBS Boston.

Customers took to social media to warn others and vent about the double charges they noticed once they had rendered.

"I just saw a double charge on my account and called, this is the explanation I was given," said Jessica Figueroa regarding a Massachusetts location, saying that she was told that the chain experienced a system-wide error. "Supposedly corporate is working to rectify all and supposedly the double charge will just fall off."

"I just called, & every customer who shopped at any Wegmans on August 16 was double charged," another woman said on X.

The grocer said the duplicate charges will be reversed in "the upcoming days" for customers who were affected by the glitch.
