Dollar General 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 deceptive pricing practices. The complaint alleges the retailer consistently charged customers higher prices at the register than those advertised on shelves. Despite corporate awareness of the issue, the company reportedly failed to rectify the discrepancies. The legal action, filed in a Tennessee federal court, highlights ongoing concerns regarding consumer protection and financial harm to shoppers at the bargain chain.
