A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes
another reason to never, ever download the fucking app for a retailer.
Dollar General argued that when customers create accounts – for example, by downloading the company’s mobile app – they agree to use arbitration to resolve disputes and forfeit the right to file class-action suits.
my own state just had a settlement with one of these places. one of those old school state agencies from the early days that goes around and does inspections with price checks on any place that sells food to the public, which you know was started because from the earliest days of the US, we were getting fucked over by shop keepers putting thumbs on scales and doing shady shit to poor customers with limited literacy.
the dollar stores, cvs and walgreens had all been caught doing this shit at rates far exceeding the state standard.
i appreciate the logic that the compliance regulators don’t want to be the one to drive the last retailer out of some of these communities with maximum fines, but that’s basically them blackmailing us. so maybe we just summarily execute some of the executives in public, seize all the inventory/property in the states’ jurisdictions and turn it into another food bank?

These companies are “commodity providers” like landlords are “housing providers” lmao.
