2 New Hanover stores fined for price-scanning errors
(STARNEWS) — Two stores in New Hanover County were among 22 fined for price-scanning errors following an investigation by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Division.
According to a Friday news release from the department, the state collected fines from Dollar General, Walmart, Target, Family Dollar and Tractor Supply stores in 16 counties after finding “excessive” price-scanner errors resulted in customers being overcharged.
The department conducts “periodic, unannounced” price-scanner inspections to check for accuracy between the advertised price and the price that rings up at the scanner.
