In one instance, a customer in Franklin County said they saw shampoo priced at $1 on the shelf, but they were then charged double when checking out. Similar to what Anderson described about price-changing policies, the AGO noted additional complaints of Dollar General stores not changing prices even after shoppers noted the discrepancy.
"This is appalling behavior and should be answered for in a court of law," Yost said in the news release."If you see this happening in a store near you, let my office know. We're here to protect Ohioans from being ripped off."
