Several stores across Eastern North Carolina have been fined for overcharging customers.
Dollar General locations in Carteret, Craven, Hertford, Onslow and Pamlico counties were among those penalized. Family Dollar stores in New Bern and Rose Hill, along with a Publix in New Bern, also faced fines.
At one Family Dollar in New Bern, inspectors found 124 overcharges among 300 items checked — an error rate of more than 41%.
The fines come as NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson sues Dollar General over allegations of widespread overcharging.
