Nebraska joins in suing Dollar General for charging customers more than advertised

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — On Oct. 26, Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers joined the Federal Trade Commission and 19 other states to sue Dollar General.

The lawsuit alleges that Dollar General Corporation charged customers more when checking out than the prices displayed on the price tags, advertisements and shelves.

According to Hilgers, this cost customers millions of dollars.

“Nebraskans expect that they are charged at the register the prices that are advertised,” Hilgers said. “Dollar General betrayed that trust at the expense of hard-working Nebraska families. Our office is committed to holding Dollar General accountable for these practices and ensuring that consumers are protected from deceptive pricing and unfair overcharges.”
