Dollar General and Kroger charge shoppers for this service that other stores offer free

The CFPB's report highlights that consumers in the U.S. pay millions in fees when opting for 'cash back' at retail stores, often affecting low-income shoppers.

Despite marketing themselves as budget-friendly, stores like Dollar General and Dollar Tree charge significant cash-back fees, undermining the convenience they advertise to customers.

Kroger has recently implemented new charges for cash-back transactions at its Harris Teeter stores, illustrating a growing trend of additional fees at major retailers.

Dollar General defends its cash back service by stating it supports customers lacking easy access to banks, but these fees can burden low-income shoppers.
