A coordinated 20-state plus FTC lawsuit against Dollar General alleges checkout prices exceeded shelf tags, a consumer-protection issue rather than a macro catalyst. The disclosure that households earning $35,000 or less drive roughly 60% of revenue highlights discount-retailer exposure to low-income spending stress and regulatory scrutiny. Expect limited index-level impact; the read-through is negative for consumer-staples discount names and marginal for broader sentiment.
