NC suing major budget retailer for allegedly overcharging customers
The prices displayed on store shelves were lower than the prices that rang up at the register, Attorney General Jeff Jackson said. North Carolina is suing Dollar General for allegedly overcharging customers. The state is joined by attorneys general of 19 states and the Federal Trade Commission in the lawsuit, alleging that the retailer kept price tags on shelves at lower prices than they rang up at registers. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has fined 10 Dollar General stores across the state for overcharging, and the Department of Justice's Consumer Protection Division has also received complaints. The lawsuit demands that Dollar General end the practice of overcharging in a way that states can verify. The company has stated that it aims for total accuracy between shelf and register prices and has increased its price-accuracy processes in recent years.
