These 10 Major Retail Stores Were Busted For Overcharging Customers

1. Whole Foods

The high-end grocery chain already had the nickname “Whole Paycheck” without claims of pricing violations. But in 2014, Whole Foods was the subject of a year-long probe by “weights and measures” inspectors who uncovered widespread overpricing, especially with deli and salad bar items.

Whole Foods responded to the investigation’s results with this statement:

“While close to 99 percent of the millions of transactions we processed during the evaluation period were found to be accurate, we are constantly committed to getting as close to 100-percent accuracy as possible. We are not alone in major cases of this type.

But we know we’re not other retailers–we’re Whole Foods Market, and we take pride in setting higher standards for quality and customer satisfaction that have helped push the entire grocery industry to do better. And that’s our promise to you – to do better.”
