@daytondailynews: Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost this week asked the Butler County Common Pleas Court to issue a temporary restraining order to force dollar stores to stop advertising one price on shelves and charging another, usually higher, at the register. “There’s a mountain of evidence showing that Dollar General simply doesn’t care to fix the issue — and that’s despite numerous consumer complaints, failed auditor inspections and our lawsuit,” Yost said. Price discrepancies were found at discount stores across the state including Butler and Montgomery counties. Dollar General filed a motion on Jan. 6 in Butler County Court to dismiss the case, saying the allegations are “vague and ambiguous” and lack sufficient proof of misconduct. The company further argued that the “whole context of the interaction must be considered,” adding that stores are required to display a screen at the register that shows the exact price customers are being charged for any item. At a Dollar General Market on Friday in Fairborn, Dayton Daily News reporters purchased $49.45 worth of goods, out of which two items rang up at incorrect prices: one 25 cents over the advertised price, and one 25 cents under the advertised price. Dollar General staff offered to correct the issue when it was brought to their attention.

It's usually 1 to 3 employees max per shift. Price changes are multiple pages that get printed a week. With everything else expected during those-

it all comes down to management in stores. if price changes aren't being done weekly then you will have a huge build up of incorrect prices ..
