Episode Description

How many of you actually compare the shelf price for something with the price that rings up at the cash register? Do you pay attention during the sale, or even afterwards on the receipt? Or are you like many people who don't even notice if there's a discrepancy? There's a new lawsuit out from the Federal Trade Commission and 20 states -- including Utah -- against Dollar General. The suit claims that the retailer ignored the shelf prices and instead charged customers more at the register. We explain the suit and discuss the overall uneasiness American consumers feel about the potential for AI to be involved in pricing.
