Dollar General Fire Hazzard. Not enough room in isles

Went into the Dollar General on Saturday Oct 22nd 2022, in Valley City ND. now this store recently did a whole remodel thinking it would get better but no. Still are supply carts full in the isles. You can’t even push a cart down any isle. What a waste of money. If a fire started you might not get out. It’s hard to shop and get what you need when you can’t even see the shelves. New management is needed.

Dollar General Incorrect pricing

On 10/ 2222 I visited my local Dollar General. Dollar General has advertised prices for products and when looking at receipt prices are higher than marked or advertised. For instance they advertised coke products buy 2 get one free. I was charged full price for all three 12 pks. Another drink body armour 1.25 receipt 1.40. I've been noticing this a lot when shopping there. I have been noticing this quite often when shopping there.

Desired outcome: That they quit falsifying prices. Let ppl know to check their receipts.

this is deceptive! i had the same prob at my DG. the way it is worded for coke 2lt. is 2 for 4$ buy 2 get one free buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut when you buy the 3 they go to normal price of 2.50 each which is 7.50 than they subtract 2.50 making 3 for 5$ instead of 2/4 or 3 for 4 which is how everyone reads it. so in reality your 3rd one is not free but 1$ more. It's not about the 1$ it's about how DG does business on a reg basics and why we drive 5 more miles to a store with fair pricing.

Exactly. People don't realize when its the digital coupon,they can only be used once. Not several times for the same.transaction. Just like your example of the soda, the coupon only works for 1 set of the sodas, not for both, since there's only 1 coupon on the app not 2

9:24 10/22/22Dollar General, 104 Laker Lane. Rocky Top, TN 37769

The store was so destroyed it was hard for an elderly gentleman to shop. Because it was hard to move around with all the clutter. Our town does not have a grocery store. So this is many people's only option. The restroom was not stocked with sanitary products. Such as hand soap and paper towels. There was human excrement in the toilet. I tried informing Sharon, the cashier. When I approached her she completely ignored me. I then spoke louder and again I was ignored. So I stepped forward and spoke louder. Again I was ignored. At that point I realized I was becoming upset and walked away.

Desired outcome: Employee training on customer service with Sharon. Corporate unscheduled visit.

Dollar General Employee

I shop at DG in Weaver several times a week and take my grandkids there for toys every weekend. I was looking to buy my two grandkids a headset but couldn't find a price anywhere. I held the headset up and asked an employee named Rhonda how much it was. She replied, "I have no idea." She was standing about 12 feet from me just inside the doors. There were other customers there but no customers in line. She was not stocking or checking anyone out. She just stood there with her arms folded. I said, "Could you look it up for me?" She said, "I probably could." I took the headset to her and she grabbed it from me and made a loud sigh like I was on her nerves. She looked it up and gave me the price but said, "That may be the price or not. There is more than one kind over there." So I just put it back and took the kids to Walmart.

I think she was rude, inconsiderate, and very unprofessional, This treatment was uncalled for as well as unnecessary it pissed me off to be treated that way. I have shopped there for 10 years. I have not been back to the store except to find out her name. Rhonda.

I am now taking my kids to The Dollar Tree and to Ollies for their treats and for my weekly grocery jaunts until something is done.

Desired outcome: I would like this woman reprimanded and cautioned to treat customers with respect.

Dollar General Incompetent customer support

Good day,

10/17/2022 I went to dollar general 5416 Rock Quarry Rd

Raleigh, NC 27610

United States

I requested that my change for my purchase be given with a smaller bill than I received. The representative rushed me and told me no. I kindly asked for the manager and she rudely threatened my safety. I’ve never been so appalled by a safety worker in my life. She attempted to assault me then attempted to call the cops for a simple request. I had no knowledge for the reason of escalation and felt that no manager should provide that level of service.

Desired outcome: Manager go through sensitivity training, to be Able to understand the community around her without raising to violence.

Dollar General Service at Dollar General in Red Lake FAlls, MN

This complaint pertains to the store in Red Lake Falls, MN. At the beginning of the opening of the store, your store was the most visited store in our town. For the last few months, it has been very difficult to find the store open for business during the day and weekends. Today the hours were 8a.m. until 11 a.m. The store was closed from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Customers stand outside the doors and have to pound on the doors for the one employee occupying the store to open the doors. The store is a wreck, no stock has been put on the shelves, yet we are told that they have to close the store during the day to allow the employee to stock shelves. The store looks like a tornado went through it. Seems to me that Dollar General would be financially better to simply close the store for good. People of the town would have to travel out of town to shop but at least we can get in the doors and shop. PLEASE REVIEW THIS MATTER AND GIVE THIS YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!

Desired outcome: Have the store open per regular hours and have the shelves stocked at all times. After 17 years managing a local store, I see many issues that need to be addressed.

Dollar General sale and 50%off items

I went to store #17260 this morning to use my digital coupons. My receipt #[protected] .I entered my phone number like usual. There was a line so even though my total seemed high, I didn't want to hold up the line so I just left. When I check my receipt I had only saved $5.00. Checking further I was charged full price for the $8.00 , 50 % off planter, the salsa was full price ,no BOGO.I go to DG to save money but the registers don't always work right. I'll watch it closer and hold up the line when it's wrong

No one to check out at first register so I went to the 2nd. Then the two employees were talking behind the register.

My name is Patricia King. June 29 - July 4, 2022. I was working at Dollar General at the Horsebend Plaza on Powder Spring. I walked off the job after two weeks. I was hired as a full time Lead Salesperson. Whitney, manager at the time gave me 19 hours the first week. I asked why wasn't getting 30 hours like corporation hired me as. She said the money wasn't in store budget. The next week I got lesser hours. I told her I couldn't live off that. I gave her two weeks notice. I found later Whitney was giving my hours to herself and Virgina, Assistant Manager, who no longer works their. I also had problems with Kareem. I had problems with him as a customer and employee. He left early one evening closing the store two hours early. He asked me to come in two hours early the next day. I didnt come in early. I came in regular time. 7/3/22 He yelled at me when I walked door yell why I didn't come early like I was a child. I couldn't work at general dollar anymore.

Dollar General Employee

Your employee, tim edwards, totally went off on me. Something was mispriced and I brought it to his attention... He said "f*k it thats not the price, someone put it in the wrong place" and threw the item. Then he said "welcome to the real world"... I informed my husband of what he said... My husband came back to the store and he told my husband "get the f*k out of my store". We talked to the manager and district manager and "video" showed us in the wrong. Seriously? This needs to be dealt with... He's totally out of control

Desired outcome: this man does not need to be working with the public

Dollar General Store closings

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the Montpelier, Va Dollar General Store. I shop here often, however, if you wish to shop after 6 pm it is hit or miss. The store employees decide that they wish to close at 7:00 or 8:00 pm and they do so. I have even been informed at 7:50 that I will need to make my final selections and meet at the register as they close in 10 minutes. The signs outside clearly show the hours as 8 am to 9 pm. The aisles are consistently filled with unloaded stock, blocking entry or exit from virtually 80 % or more of the aisles.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response that this will be addressed and corrected. Thank you sincerely.

Dollar General Customer Service

On September 30th between 12-12:30 in the location in Middletown CT. The cashier was very rude regarding the bags. The cashier was bagging my items and didnt continue with the rest of the items. I asked her if I can have another bag she said this is not charity and you have a bag. I was taken back by this comment as I was with my elderly mother. I told her that I know I have a bag but you bagged the other items so I thought you were going to bag the rest. So I begin bagging my items into my personal bag.

I previously worked at Ames Corporate office and we strived to ensure our cashiers were properly trained to greet and respect the customers as they are th reason we were in business.

I am very disappointed in the service I received today.

Desired outcome: All staff needs to be properly trained and has passed a customer service class

Dollar General Employee livelyhood

All these people complaining about a store and employees who look annoyed - it's because they have to deal with this company. You guys have no idea what they put them through. They give so little hours a week that, even with the store manager working 60 hours (well over what should be required considering the pay and benefits offered to them), they don't even half enough hours to have 2 people working at all time. Half the time someone is there alone, and this isn't just for the small stores - even the busy stores are given terrible hours. So the one person working has to sit there and ring up all the customers on the register and never has the time to get anything done. On top of that, they send stores unnecessarily large trucks filled with too much of product they already have, and almost none they actually need. They send the same size truck every week so they can meet their quota, but its filled with stuff they already have so they get stock rooms full of overstock products. They've added about 40 hours worth of work in the past two years and stores still have the same or less hours than they did those two years ago. The company is tearing it's employees apart in the name of maximizing corporate profit. Nothings ever going to get done though, because simple minded people like the ones posting these stupid complaints would rather complain about how their entitlement was damaged. If you guys want change and better managed, stocked, and friendly stores, put yourselves in the shoes of the employees and you'll see corporate Dollar General is the cause, not them.

Desired outcome: Stop being profit greedy and make the necessary changes to your company

Dollar General Store doors closed at 9:45am filthy parking lot

On September 28, 2022, I drove to the Dollar General on 339 Nisbet St. NW Jacksonville Al. I found that the Doors were locked at 9:45am, parking lot was full of trash and cigarette butts. Trash cans were over flowing. I had to drive down the road to purchase what I needed. This is a high traffic college town that relies on this store to be open during your business hours and presentable in our town.

Desired outcome: Clean, presentable, open for business
