The receipt received from the teller AGREES with the total on the deposit slip. However, at BofA at least, the teller apparently doesn't verify the total on the deposit slip is correct, or that the quantity of items or dollar amounts agree with what's being received by the bank. They apparently just key in the same TOTAL that I wrote on the deposit slip, and print that amount on the receipt that has all the subject-to-verification boilerplate, which gives them the right to make the adjustment they're making.
Contrast this to the WFC teller procedure, where the amount of each MO is being keyed-in by the teller, and the receipt that I get shows the amount of each item being deposited ... far more useful in controlling against the situation I find myself in.
