Dollar General sued for what FTC describes 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 retailer consistently charged customers higher prices at the register than those advertised on shelves. Despite internal knowledge of the issue, the company reportedly failed to rectify the discrepancies. The lawsuit, filed in a Tennessee district court, seeks to address the financial harm caused to consumers by these misleading retail practices.
