Dollar General tasted terrible

To whom it may concern,

I have bought many bags of said pistachios! I am also upset about the fact that the serving size went down yet the price went up! This is a time Americans need every bang for their buck! But my main complaint is that the last bag of pistachios i bought, about a week ago, was the nastiest pistachios I've ever tasted! They tasted bad, most were like they were soggy, some salted some not, some were just plain rotten! I've actually told many people in the past that these pistachios could go up against some of the more expensive brands! Now I wish i could retract that statement! I doubt i will get anything out of this! It seems no one cares about customer service in this country anymore! Heck now a days, which i wouldn't doubt this email does as well, goes to some foreign country where you can't understand them and they could careless about your problem! Well i hope someone cares about the quality of your product and concerns of your customers! Unless something is done for me, I will no longer buy ANY of your products, and be sure to let everyone I know, the terrible quality!

Thanks, Brad Dugan

Dollar General this store sucks.

My mother and I picked up four items and she told me that if I wanted one of the items that I would have to play along with her and say that it was on sale when it was not. So the cashier said that it was not on sale and my mother said the sale item rang up as full price. She already wroted a letter on this. They refused to check to see the item if it was on sale or not so my mother said she did not want the item it it did not scan at the sale price. It was on regular price but one of the item i wanted was in the wrong spot so my mom said to pretend that we dont know it is regular price. My mom was mad because they refused to check the item and there was more of the toy item i wanted because she said while i get in line you put the rest of the toys in there so they give it for that price when they see it is on the sale rack. They refused to check it out two people refused so she said forget it and now because of them I am sad and won't get my toy because they refused to check it out. She says thanks for making a little child sad.

The mother probably has 4 other children, is illegally here in the Country thanks to Czar Harry "Traitor and Marxist" Reid, and reporting 6 children to feed her fat face on food stamps. This is why we need FOOD STAMP REFORM WITH CHILD LIMITS, and US CITZENSHIP REQUIRED. But we need to throw Saddam Hussein Obama out next year! Romney is ObamaLite, so be sure you pick a winner. She is also probably a ### child. She loves to destroy merchandise. The mother needs to be sterilized but thanks to the God and United States of America hating liberals that is considered cruel and unusual punishment. Illegals think condoms will kill them. CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICALS AND DEMAND FOOD STAMP REFORM WITH CITZENSHIP REQUIREMENT AND CHILD LIMITS. DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER KEEP CALLING THEM PLEASE!

While this seems like a fake letter it is very possible that the letter is true. I have often heard of parents getting their young children sometimes even younger than the daughter steal. While an eleven year old knows that taking an item off the shelf and putting it in their pocket or bag is stealing they don't know that putting an item from a more expensive bin to a less expensive bin is also considered stealing. They think that because they paid for it they did nothing illegal. A child trusts their parent and does not think they are doing anything wrong. So it is possible for an eleven year old to be unaware that what she is doing is wrong if their parents encourage this sort of behavior.

Also note that at 11 a child right now should be in grade 6 or 7. By that time(unless they have a learning disability) they should be able to write a better review. I think that this person is pretending to be 11 by purposely making spelling and grammar errors for trolling purposes not knowing that at that age you should be able to type better.

Fake or not, it is possible that this letter is true. If this poster really is 11 and her mother does this kind of stuff all the time it is possible the child does not know that it is illegal. I have heard of many cases where the parents use their children to steal all sorts of stuff for them because in some cases they are too young to be held responsible if caught. These children don't know right from wrong because they trust their parents are not doing anything wrong. They don't find out until they are older. Now an eleven year old would know that putting a chocolate bar in their pocket and walking out of the store without paying for it is wrong, chances are they won't know that putting merchandise on a cheaper bin to try and get it for that price is also wrong and illegal. They think as long as it is paid for whether they pay the correct price or cheaper that they did nothing illegal, and unfortunately parents like the person who wrote the review encourage this behavior so much that a child thinks it is perfectly okay and does not question the parent. Thought I doubt this person is 11. They are just claiming to be 11 for trolling purposes. They are purposely making spelling and grammar mistakes to make them look 11. At 11 they would be right not sixth or seventh grade and by then you can type a more legible letter. Sure there will be some errors but not like this. Unless the child is special needs.

Dollar General terrible service

Mt daughter and I stopped in this afternoon to check out the next store. We picked up a few items, and when checking out, one of our items rang up at the wrong price, I notified the sales clerk and she stared at me dumbly like I was speaking in a foreign language. After a few moments, she said the item must have been in the wrong location. I finally told her that I did not want the item if she was not going to honor the sale price posted on the shelf, under the item. She called a supervisor over to void the item. This person was told that the item was marked on sale but ringing at full price, and she did not acknowledge me - simply voided the item, them grabbed it and walked away. Neither employee tried to verify the item was marked on sale. I can honestly say that even though this new store was put up a stone's throw from my house and would be hugely convenient, we won't be back.

Dollar General all for dg, nothing for you

I was a store mgr. For dg for over (2) years. I found a better paying job with better hours and worked a notice. I left the company in august. During the 2nd period (May, june, july) I earned a period bonus. I had also lowered the store's shrink percentage and earned a nice inventory bonus. These bonuses totaled almost $3, 000. Shocking update! Dollar general only pays out bonuses to employees who are employed when they feel like sending out the bonuses, not when you actually earn them. I received nothing for the 2nd period numbers that exceeded sales and customer goals and received nothing for the entire year that I worked with my staff improving inventory numbers in the store. Once again you give dollar general everything... They give you... Nothing.

Dollar General extremely rude workers, unprofessionally run business

I myself have worked retail for many years and am well aware of how things work. If a product is on a peg with matching product name and upc/sku number said product should be given at price labeled on peg. This however, is not the case at dollar general in harlan, ky. Instead of following proper policies we were rudely told over and over "it's on the wrong peg" and then she decides the mature thing to do is to stomp off and go look for herself and then come back and repeat "it's on the wrong peg". As if her attitude and rudeness weren't enough, at the other register another employee was doing nothing (Literally) while the line we were in was at least 10 customers long. As well as a non-employee standing at the registers visiting and eating. It takes a lot to turn me against a store, but the way this place is run did it for me.

Dollar General poor customer service/refund policy

Last week, I purchased a door bell unit from a different retailer. Upon installing it, it required 3 "D" cell batteries which I do not have nor usually use around the house. I went and purchased 2 packs of 2 Energizer batteries for a total sale of $7.50. I went home and installed 3 of these batteries only to discover that the door bell did not work. I assumed that it was the door bell and not the batteries so I returned the door bell to the retailer and did not exchange it for another as I was not satisified with the unit and wanted no more of them. I then placed the batteries back into their packages and taped them closed (for all I know, the batteries could have been defective and not the bell unit). I then went to Dollar General and asked for a refund, as I had the receipt for the purchase. I told my story to the cashier and she was very friendly and understanding. She then called her male manager and he came to the register and I explained my story to him. He immediately refused the refund and told me that batteries could not be returned and asked me if I would purchase a package that had been taped shut and I told him that I had purchased merchandise that had been previously opened from other retailers. He then became loud and verbally aggressive and continually argued and refused my refund request. I then asked to see the Dollar General refund policy and he directed me to a different register so that I could read the sign, telling me that I had to move so that other customers could check out as the line was backing up. I then read the policy and no mention was made about refunds of batteries and I questioned him, he still was loud in front of the other customers and told me that they are considered as electronics and that all store items can not be listed exactly in the policy. I then asked for his customer service number and he aggressively directed me go online to the Dollar General website and voice my complaint. I then went home and did so and it is now 4 days without their response. I guess that they don't care about their customers and I'll shop at Dollar Tree or Family Dollar instead. Hope everyone else hears this and does as well!

I work at dollar general and the policy is no returns on electronics. if they did that do you know how many people would be bringing back batteries after they used them, we have done a few exchanges here and there but not a complete refund. i not saying your batteries was good cuz i had bought some myself that were bad and just took a lose, i suggest check the date on the batteries before you buy them.

Dollar General Mold

A recently opened and refrigerated jar of Clover Valley stuffed green olives has a layer of mold on top. I called Dollar General yesterday and reported it and the person I spoke with told me that someone from Clover Valley would call me and I should keep my line open. That was approximately 1:30 pm. No one has called and I doubt that anyone will until at least next Mon. Fine. But she should have told me that. Leave my line open? Are you kidding? That, plus the fact that neither Dollar General, which sells Clover Valley products, nor Clover Valley make it easy to send them a complaint. Easy? Maybe I should say impossible. Very unhappy with both complanies.

Dollar General discrimination / chosen one to leave purse in the car

I'm a loyal customer to dollar general for many years. I watched as they built the store. I could not wait until the opening of the store. I have always been very kind to the employees and I seen many come and go. Also I seen many management changes. But I always shopped at this dallor general store #9274. Today I was approached by clay the asst. Mgmt. And was told to go out and leave my purse. I complied with the request and returned with a very small change pocket. He came to me in the store and said a skinny black lady was in the store earlier with a big purse and when she left the store it appeared to be full. I just looked and thought what does that have to do with me? I went to check out and had to go back out to get my wallet and checkbook. I did not get to use my coupons. I turned to all of the people behind me and several other women had very large purses and mine is a medium size. This action was not only embarrasing but was abusive and discrimination against me for no reason that I could think of. My purse is a medium size and half the time do not even bring it in unless I have a large list of items and coupons to use. I went out to my purse in the car 3 times to get checked out. Clay had left and I called crystal to get the phone number to corprate she added nothing could be done until virginia comes back from vacation. I'm very disappointed and hurt to have been treated in this abusive manner. They say he discriminated against me and it is a small store in a small community and if this treatment continues it could close the store #274

Do you know what it feels like to be discriminated against, on a job, using transportation to and from your home, and to have people around you know more about you because of heresay than you do yourself? Also, to have a job but knowing that you are not supposed to be working or earning a living to make do with the essentials in life, created numerous problems for me and my family. I left granite city because i was a witness along with my son, at injustice dealt out to a man attempting to protect his girlfriend and her two children from an ex-con who kept switching off their power even when the alarm had been set to get them up for school the next day. This man had been told to not call the granite city p.d. Because he would be arrested even though he had a legitimate claim. He had been beatened in a jail cell by four p.d. Officers who kicked, punched and assaulted him in the cell after his girlfriend made the call, not he. As a result, and because of other claims that we (my family) was and is troublemakers too, we have been subjected to harassment and other innuendoes about returning back to granite city. Why should we subject ourselves to more abuse and additional stress. We have been trying to better our lives but have been denied our right to further our goals. My son was denied his ged completion because the person scheduled to pick him up, failed to do so. We moved here, where he wants to attend school to complete his education and get a better paying job. Instead, he has been denied this privilege. How can he get a job if no one is willing to give him the chance? He is in a shelter where he has been for over a year, and he feels harassment on a day-to-day basis as i do, and we have been made to feel that when a law enforcement person is shot or killed, that we are somehow held accountable. Today, i went to pick my son up from the shelter, and we were harassed on our way to my apartment where my son stays until it is time to go back. So many people have commented on what to us is considered the past, but yet we still here that we should return to granite city; i to a man who followed me to alton, commandeered a bi-state bus to fairview heights so as to follow me there, followed me into the central west end, and where i worked, lived and shopped. This man lied under oath because he had help from people who had believed that he had been telling the truth. What about his old flame who he was dating at the same time he had been following me? How else did she know where i was unless he told her? This was part of the reason i left. So much wrongdoing there and harassment continues to this day. A man should not be beatened for protecting his girlfriend and her two kids from a bully. She had been diabetic and pushed against a telephone pole and knocked unconscious. Where do compassion and understanding of wrongdoings dealt to them begin especially two innocent children? Would you have wanted all of this to happen to you?

MYOB! You really need to improve your spelling, grammar and punctuation. The commas do not add emphasis.

"I was in the Pac and Sac (sic) on Hollywood in Amarillo, and along with everyone else, did not care for the personality of the skinny black truck driver and his large wife. He was driving a Dollar General truck and buying a case of beer and two six packs on Saturday night at 8pm. I believe you should do something about this as it is inappropriate and dangerous for a representative of your company to drink and drive. I am writing to let you know about this atrocity and hope that your company will care enough to discipline the driver. However, I am doubtful as you do not have a good record of responding to customer complaints."

This is my version of your complaint. I have tried to keep the original spirit of the complaint with some adjustments and have left some errors in there. Try sending this to Dollar General.

Dollar General rude new assistant manager

I recently went into our local Dollar General Store in Giddings, Texas and did not like the new girl that they hired as assistant manager there. She was very rude to me and very slow on checking people out. She rolled her eyes when I told her that I had something to return and said something under her breathe about dumb white people, and when I asked her to repeat herself she said she didnt say anything. But I know what I heard and I didnt appreciate it a bit. The new manager that recently took over the store was doing just fine until this girl came along, even though she was still learning the ropes. Why they gave her such a rude person to "help" her is beyond me, but she sure isnt worth it. Get rid of the bad one before you loose more customers.

I have been in the local General Dollar store in Chandler Indiana twice with three weeks between, they have the same packages of ribs that have been expired since 10/5/2013 Both times I have pointed it out and both times I was told, well check on it and second, I'm showing it to the delivery person when they come in. Really, and they apparent don't know that it's against the law to sell expired food.
I was happy for the family dollar to have some competition but now I'm Leary if the store in general.
There were also crushed cans of tomato soup on the first trip. I didn't buy any because of this. The second trip I checked on the soup and some of them had been sold but still crushed can for sale.
These managers are messing up and when someone gets sick and they get sued, they will have to close. I'm just pissed.
