just watched a show on class action suits being filed against Dollar General for deceptive pricing.
Three states are involved and it appears to be spreading.
These stores are specifically situated to provide to the lowest income households and they are apparently often ripped off.
What it says on the shelf is not what the register rings up.
That is called theft by deception in most areas.
and apparently that thievery is quite profitable because they keep building more.
For years I stopped shopping at Harbor Freight I got so annoyed at their even worse deceptive pricing, often three prices
for same thing. Then the Fed stepped in, fined them and made them change their advertising. Now much better and better quality gear too.
Would be nice if Dollar General would do the right thing and fix this.
If you shop there at times, just be sure to check your register tape.
part of the problem might be inadequate staffing needed to keep up with repricing.
easy to change the software program charging folks. Labor and intelligence needed to go find the right shelf
and correct the label. If the help is of low caliber, I can see this happening.
But these class action suits allege something more insidious, more intentional.
raining hard, finishing my coffee before I drive in this over to Doylestown to help my friend with her light switches.
Taking lots of flashlights including my big area Makita light. Can't fix what you can't see and we are turning the lights off...
I'll try not to stand in a puddle...
