Because the South is lousy with DGs, this is a big problem here. Funny how these stores seem to always proliferate in low income neighborhoods.....I'd need both hands to count the number of DGs within a 6 mile radius of my house. I watch at the register like a hawk if I step foot in a Dollar General and buy anything. I've been overcharged quite a bit but if they don't honor the price on the shelf, I don't buy that product and have them put it back. I inform them on the discrepancy but when I return to that particular store weeks or a month later, the shelf price has not been corrected. Every other store I buy anything from will honor the shelf price if the item in question rings up higher at the register.(Some states have laws that require a store to honor the shelf price anyway.)This beef I have goes back to when we lived in PA and I didn't pay as close attention and was overcharged once. I wrote to the company and basically was told "so sad, too bad" and nobody was going to rectify the situation. These stores are constantly under staffed on purpose and it's all the employees can do to keep order and the doors open. It's a very poor business model and I hope more states bring lawsuits against them.
