Publix Facing Class Action Lawsuit

Publix is facing a class-action lawsuit in Florida, accusing the grocery chain of overcharging customers at self-checkouts by inflating the weight of items like meats, cheeses, and deli products. The lawsuit claims the store’s system automatically adjusts prices to match the original price, even during sales. It also accuses Publix of leaving expired sale signs up, misleading customers about product prices. The lawsuit seeks damages for affected shoppers and calls for the company to stop the practices.
