Albertsons agreed to a settlement of $1,076,075.
The settlement covers individuals who used the order-picking tool at the Jewel Osco distribution center between March 1, 2018, and October 17, 2022.

Albertsons faced another settlement earlier this year along with Safeway.
The stores were accused of tricking customers into thinking they were getting a buy-one, get-one-or-two-free (BOGO) deal in Oregon.
The offer was specifically aimed at Club Card members, who believed they were getting free items.
Two shoppers filed the suit in 2016, alleging the grocery store raised prices of meat to pass along the cost of "free" items to shoppers.
One example offered in the suit showed how the store typically sold boneless pork chops for $4.49 a pound but charged $12.99 a pound under the BOGO deal.
Prices were marked up on beef, chicken, and pork.
While the companies did not admit to any wrongdoing, they did agree to a $107million settlement.
Class members of the suit received an estimated $200 each.
Those who shopped these "deals" with a Safeway Club Card between May 4, 2015, and September 7, 2016, were eligible to file a claim.
