A 19-year-old Dollar General employee is accused of turning roughly $1,500 worth of merchandise into a $67 purchase by manipulating prices at the self-checkout. On April 19, 2023, police were called to a Dollar General store in Pahokee, Florida, after a loss-prevention representative reported that an employee had been using a code to reduce merchandise prices to just one penny. Investigators reviewed the store's records and surveillance footage and questioned the employee about how the transactions were made. According to the loss-prevention representative, the code had previously been posted on a wall inside the store. Police later identified the employee and went to her home, where she was arrested and taken in for questioning. She was charged with grand theft. The available public record described in this video does not establish the final outcome of the case. This video examines the released police footage and the investigation surrounding the alleged Dollar General price-manipulation scheme.
