Dollar General sued for “overcharging” customers on $1 items

The Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of 20 states have filed a lawsuit against Dollar General, alleging long-running deceptive pricing practices. The complaint claims the retailer consistently charges customers higher prices at the register than those advertised on store shelves, resulting in millions of dollars in financial harm to consumers. The legal action seeks to hold the company accountable for these pricing discrepancies and protect shoppers from further financial exploitation.
