FigBig Zip erroneously logging too many steps?

I just bought this a few days ago to use strictly as an pedometer. So far today it's logged just under 15,000 steps. I did two miles on the treadmill, approximately 5,000 steps for me, and walked my dog a mile, maybe 3,000 steps because he wants to stray from the path. I did go to Costco and Walmart and walked quite a bit at each, plus parked my car very far away, but this definitely isn't 7,000 steps! The only other movement was a bit of housecleaning, but still, nothing like biking or cooking or gardening. I'm suspicious and wondered if anyone else had experienced the same alleged discrepancy. Thanks!
