North Carolina’s price-gouging law has gone into effect. Citizens are to report “anyone using this storm to make an unfair profit off consumers.” To assist you in drawing the line, price gouging is defined as “charging too much in times of crisis.” Those found in violation will be forced to refund the exact amount overcharged to customers and pay fair penalties to the government.
People capable of identifying prices that are too high are advised to call that smart-alecky 1-800 number found on the back of trucks.
