Shoppers are suing Giant, a major supermarket chain, claiming the company charged customers more at the register than the prices displayed on store shelves. The plaintiffs allege that when they and other customers scanned their items at checkout, the final price was higher than what was advertised or tagged in the store, resulting in customers unknowingly overpaying for groceries. This type of claim, often called a price scanner violation, suggests that Giant's pricing systems were inaccurate or misleading. The proposed class would include consumers who shopped at Giant stores and were charged prices that did not match the shelf or advertised prices during a defined period of time.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
