Dollar General is sued by the FTC and 20 states for what's being described as deceptive pricing

The Federal Trade Commission, joined by 20 states, has filed a lawsuit against Dollar General for alleged deceptive pricing practices. The complaint claims the retail chain consistently charged customers higher prices at the register than those displayed on store shelves or in advertisements. Despite having internal knowledge of these discrepancies, the company reportedly failed to rectify the issue, leading to significant financial harm for consumers. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
