Dollar General sued by FTC over ‘deceptive pricing practices’

The agency, along with 20 states, allege that customers are charged more at the register than prices displayed on tags and in ads. “Dollar General has betrayed the trust of millions of American consumers and imposed significant financial harm on communities and consumers who are already struggling to make their paychecks last,” Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement released Monday. Dollar General did not immediately respond to Retail Dive’s request for comment on the allegations.
