Summary

The Federal Trade Commission and 20 states have sued Dollar General, the nation's largest dollar-store chain, accusing it of persistently overcharging customers at its more than 20,000 U.S. stores. According to The Guardian, the lawsuit was filed in federal court in Nashville and cites a Guardian investigation published last December. The suit alleges a "pattern of inaccurate pricing" that "affects millions of purchases." Two Investing.com reports on the same action contain only headlines, so they add no further detail about the allegations.
