Dollar General faces $1.8M overcharge penalty amid store expansion. Secret shoppers found Dollar General overcharging on about 14% of items, resulting in a $1.8 million penalty. This operational issue contrasts with recent reports highlighting the company's internal turnaround and store expansion plans. While the stock is trading near its 52-week high, the overcharging incident adds a consumer trust challenge to its growth narrative.
