We found that since January of 2022, Dollar General failed more than 4,300 government price accuracy inspections in 23 states.

Over the same period, Family Dollar failed more than 2,100 in 20 states, some of them with error rates as high as 76%.

Even in the states where they've been fined, it continues to happen.

So in November 2023, Family Dollar settled with the attorney general of Wisconsin, paid $850,000.

Within the next 23 months, Dollar General stores had failed 31% of inspections and Family Dollar failed 30%.

You might see a pack of laundry detergent on the shelf, and the shelf price says $4, and then you get up to the register and you might be charged $5.50.

And that's largely because the new price just hasn't been updated on the shelf yet, but it's already reflected in the system.
