Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services slapped fines on 16 stores spanning 13 counties for price scanning mistakes during the second quarter. Dollar General and Family Dollar shops accounted for the bulk of infractions. The Standards Division drops in without warning to inspect price-scanner systems. They verify whether advertised prices match what registers charge. Any store that overcharges on more than 2% of items gets a follow-up visit and might pay penalties. According to the Queen City News, a Family Dollar at 1002 East Broad Ave. in Rockingham received the steepest penalty — $5,645 — after bombing three inspections. In February, inspectors caught a 12% mistake rate with six overcharges on 50 items. March brought a reinspection that revealed an 8.67% mistake rate: 26 overcharges on 300 items, which meant a $3,525 fine. Come May, another reinspection turned up a 4% mistake rate with 12 overcharges on 300 items, tacking on $2,120 more. A Circle K at 1071 Chestnut Lane in Indian Trail paid $2,525 after failing twice. Inspectors found a whopping 22% mistake rate in January — 11 overcharges on just 50 items. Other shops got hit too. A Dollar General in Camden County owed $6,800, while one in Chowan County paid $5,000. Scotland County's Dollar General was docked $5,330. Shops that flunk follow-up visits must get reinspected every 60 days until they hit that 2% threshold. The Rockingham Family Dollar and Indian Trail Circle K both face more scrutiny. Undercharges get reported but don't hurt a store's mistake rate. Inspectors sit down with store managers after catching violations. If a shop fails reinspection, more penalties could come. Consumers can file complaints about scanner mistakes by calling the Standards Division at 984-236-4750.
