Question about reporting faulty register scanners

[craigindaville.livejournal.com]

I am at a loss in trying to find anything at Mass.gov, so I'm throwing it out here in hopes that someone knows this:

I was double charged for a few items at a grocery store yesterday (no need to say which one, but one of the large chains). When I found it once I got home, they were great about taking my word for it back at the store and refunded my money, so I don't have a vendetta against them.

However, I know that the machine itself is faulty (there were no double-swipes, as I would have noticed that standing right in front of the cashier) and want to make sure that they fix the problem, not just my circumstance. Where do I register a complaint about this? With the MA AG's office? The City of Somerville? Somewhere else?

Thanks for the help!

aren't such things covered under licenses and scales rules?
which exists to address stuff like this.

it's not like they have a lightbulb out.

things which cost you money like that are typically regulated and should be reported. not bitchy at all. it's nice to CC: the store in question though (and makes them fix it faster, as they might be fined).
