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
Considering sales tax isn’t included, so your total always rings up different than your math, and it’s really hard to accurately math out because some products aren’t taxed, yeah, I could see people not realizing that’s what happened. Especially if the things that went up were low priced items.
Idk about Dollar General and such, but every place I go to tells you the subtotal (before tax) and total (after tax). I find it it be pretty easy but I’m also paying attention to prices as they ring up.
That’s fair, I really haven’t looked to see the breakdown, I also watch the scan. But I’ve dealt with the public, and most people genuinely don’t seem to be paying that much attention… to anything… :)
