Elsewhere, customers could receive a chunk of a $6.94 million class action settlement involving a vending machine company.
Compass Group USA Inc., doing business as Canteen, is accused of charging errors on certain vending machines it owns and operates, per the settlement website.
Customers have sued the company, arguing that the machines charged them more than the displayed price for items when they used a debit or credit card.
The lawsuit alleged that Canteen overcharged shoppers’ credit, debit, or prepaid cards without alerting snackers that using a card would incur an extra charge, breaching its contract terms.
Although the vending machine company has not admitted any wrongdoing, Canteen agreed to shell out $6.94 million to absolve the claims against it.
