Dollar General Overcharges ‘Hundreds of Thousands’ of Customers, Lawsuit Alleges

The prices paid at the register do not match the price tags, according to a class action lawsuit working through the courts.

The American Prospect

The Feds are suing Amazon for alleged "deceptive consumer practices". The FTC action claims that Amazon "tricked" customers into signing up for "Amazon Prime" and then made it difficult for them to cancel.

#CVS was deceptive. Rather, #CVS is deceptive in their $ commitment to #diabetes- what they say versus what they do.

Also, shoplifting isn’t up. They tell us it is to justify price gauging, no?

CVS' diabetes scheme

On April 13, 2021, CVS, the nation's largest drug store chain, entered into a "Corporate Sponsorship Agreement" with the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Under the terms of the agreement, the ADA agreed "to identify and acknowledge [CVS] as a supporter of the organization and the diabetes cause." Further, the agreement provided CVS with a license "to use the ADA Marks, solely to identify Company as a supporter of the ADA."
