Dollar General - Beware!
Mar 29, 2024 10:16:57 #
I watched a video about Dollar General, which owns Dollar Tree. With 19,000 stores across the country, specializing in low-income areas, they have paid $20 million in fines in various states. The problem is that they raise the price in their database, but they do not raise the price on the shelf. You pick up an item marked $7.95, and you might pay $8.25. This type of practice is consistent across the country. One reason for the lack of shelf changing is the minimum staff in the stores. If one person is on the register and another is stocking shelves, who's going to change the price on the shelf?
Of course, if the shelf price must be changed, headquarters should inform the store. If they don't tell a particular store to raise certain prices, the prices stay low, but not in the register. A woman showed a receipt on which four out of seven items were overcharged.

Do a search on Dollar Tree Closings and you'll get all kinds of info, including the news that they're closing about a thousand stores over the next year. www.bing.com

I buy from Dollar Tree but not Dollar Store because Dollar Stores items are much more than $1. Dollar Tree has raised their price to $1.25 but most items are that price. I buy a lot of coin batter cells from Dollar Tree.

I never thought that Dollar General was a good deal. Wally World, Target and many other stores were always cheaper. I'm surprised they are still in business. The fact that they are in lower economic areas is true. I have yet to see one in a middle class neighborhood here in NYC. They seem to be preying on the poor.

I’m not interested in Dollar Tree - the video is about Dollar General’s stated price vs actual charged price.

Family Dollar (not Dollar General) is owned by Dollar Tree. Family Dollar was a problem before Dollar Tree bought it.

Our Dollar Tree prices are $1.25 for 95% of their products. There are a few items for 3-4-5 dollars not 7 or 8 dollars. I live in Overland Park Kansas. Thanks BE SAFE!!

This is a problem I find with Ralph's and Von's grocery in the area where I live. Errors in pricing are made regularly and it is overwhelmingly almost always in favor of the store. It really pays to to watch as prices are being rung up.
