NegativeU.S News

- A recent investigation by The Guardian revealed that Dollar General and Family Dollar stores frequently charge customers more at checkout than the prices displayed on shelves. During an inspection in Windsor, North Carolina, state inspector Ryan Coffield scanned 300 items, finding discrepancies between shelf prices and checkout totals for various products, including frying pans and Frosted Flakes.
- This issue raises concerns about the business practices of these dollar-store chains, as it undermines their promise of low prices and may exploit cash-strapped customers who rely on affordable shopping options.
