Bad management!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
Company information:
Dollar General
Tuscaloosa, Alabama
United States
Phone: (205) 454-6088

Management was very Rude to Customers. Customers were standing in line with two lines opened, with ten or more customers in each line. There were at least three other terminals that would have been opened. When asked if other terminals could be opened. The manager was very disrespectful and rude to customers. We were told that we could wait are leave. After being challenge on talking to customers in this manner she then stated that all the other registers could not complete credit/debit transactions. At that point I stated that she could have opened up a cash only terminal to alleviate/shortened the waiting time.

No customers deserves this type of treatment from Dollar General Employees. Family Dollar, Target, Walmart, and K-mart looks better each day in regard to customer friendliness, service and support.

Manager: No name tag displayed on the employee, she was only referred to as "Miss Helen":

Store Location: Stillman Blvd.
Tuscaloosa, Al 35403.

Cashier Kiki

This cashier was very very rude! To many customers and myself that she waited on, she was busy chatting about personal business to a female subject that was not wearing an Dollar General shirt or ID tag. She was just a customer/friend of the cashier KIKI. When it was my turn to be checked out she continued to "chat", "gossip", with this "friend". I had asked KIKI is she was ready for me, and was done visiting, she just gave me my total, during a mid-sentence to her "friend". I asked her what the total was and again she repeated during one of her mid-sentence to her friend. I paid my total and told her she was very rude, and I was going to report her. If she wanted to "gossip with her friend" she should do it on her own time. The friend left when I did and got in her car.

I believe that when a cashier who is on duty should be ready for her customers and should advise their friends that do come in the store that she has a job to do and can not visit with them at the time she is on duty.

Today I was approached inside Dollar General by the store manager who was so rude! She pointed at me and another lady that we interrupted her lunch by asking her to come to the register when we were waiting! When I stated 'customers first'. She stepped back and refused to offer me service. She proceeded to call the police and threaten me with trespassing! I waited for the police and they told me that they do have to right to tell me to leave their property. I told him that I would be calling corperate because this is irrational and unprofessional behavior and no one NO ONE who is a customer or Dollar General or any grocery store should be threatened with police or being treated so disrespectfully because they interrupt a store managers lunch!
I am awaiting a response presently from corperate to see what they propose to do about that store manager. I'll keep you updated.

I agree with the ladies complaining, I am a cashier at DG and I have never treated a customer with such disrespect, they have every right to complain, yes we do have a lot of work to do, and not enough time to do it in, and it can be very stressful, but if you cannot compose yourself while waiting on customers than you have no business working there, just remember as a cashier, you should remember how you would like to be treated when your checking out at a store. and yes I have gotten rude customers, but you keep your cool, check them out and then curse to yourself. remember an unhappy customer is a lost customer, and you lose too many with your attitude and you will have a closed store.

I agree I'm a Cashier at Dollar General and the mangers, District Mangers and even Asst. Mangers are down right rude and very disrespectful to not only customers to their employees as well. They go as far as to Imply that we have no choice in working more hours, other employees from other stores will loose their jobs, We cannot have breaks and Have to do every peice of work they do not want to do!

They try to say that It's our duties to do these things but I for one have called corp. to ask about breaks and got told with a eight hour work shift I am supposed to have two fifteens and one hour break. I'm lucky if i get A fifteen much less that much! Then the customers complain to me about the treatment they are given by the mangers, and how the mangers are treating us employees. Other store's employees complain about this as well watching from their place of employeement and suggest we all find better jobs.

I live in Waynesboro Virginia. I shop often at your Broad St store. I noticed a week ago when I was in the store one of your employees had a blue bandana wrapped around her wrist. I have had trouble myself with a family member being in the crip gang so iI know for a fact the blue bandana represents the crip gang. I thought maybe this woman had a problem with her wrist so I thought nothing more of it. Well today October 25th I noticed that she is still wearing it. This concerns me due to the fact that gangs are getting worse in our community. It was a real shock to know that dollar general condones their employees being in a gang. I will no longer be shopping at your store and I am going to let our local gang task force know about this. I will also be letting all friends and family member know about this. We are going to stand up to gang involvement and to gang violence in our town. I am very disappionted that we have to see it where we shop. I thought your stores would be more aware of this, maybe it is that your company just doesn't care and will hire anyone. I thought dollar general had higher standards that this.

say no to gangs:
I'm sorry, but on our application it says nothing about gang involvement. The district and regional manager might not be aware of the problem. I'm not condoning gang involvement just saying that you should call corporate and actually get something done instead of telling everyone and their brother not to shop there. If nothing is said to those who need to hear it, she'll continue to be employed there!

And Dollar General does not have high standards. It's Dollar General for crying out loud. You think with the pay they offer they have high standards?
