Dollar General Aisles are plugged.

I was so happy when the Dollar General was built about 3 miles away.. I have to say I am completely disappointed with it. You can never get what you need because the shelves are always empty and they have those big carts loaded with merchandise to be put on the shelves. Today, again I went down and got 3 items out of 4. Honestly, you can't get at the shelves because they are blocked. There were quite a few customers there a little after 3 o, clock today 7/25/23, and all complaining about you can't ever get what you want. And the aisles are so full of unpacked items that customers had a hard time getting around. A Dollar General spokesman that represents Boyle County Kentucky needs to drop in on the Parksville, Ky Dollar General. Something has to be done if, in my opinion, they want to stay open.

Dollar General Heartland farms seafood medley cat food

We on the regular go to the dollar store to buy things but buying cat food has never been a problem till now. We bought this food thinking it would be safe for our cats. Then not long after we have fed them it they have been throwing up every time they eat. If this product really makes my cats I’ll and there’s a huge vet bill I will be more than livid. After doing research I’ve seen there is another complaint about this food with mold! I haven’t see mold in the food but the food shouldn’t be molding a week after purchase. Not only that but the brand has had several recalls in the past. I’ve never had this big of a problem with the dollar store but now I do.

Dollar General contacting health dept. f you don't respond to this

On Sat. 7/22, I went to my local Dollar General in Hilliard, FL. As I walked in, the guy going in right behind me was was barefoot and the feet were dirty. I told the girl at the register he was barefoot and she said OK!, so I thought she would tell him to leave. However, after I finished shopping on was on line to check out, the dirty barefoot guy got on line behind me. I took a photo of it and attached it below. If I get no response to this email, I will be sending everything to Nassau County Health Dept, and I'd think they'd have something to say to you about it. There should be a sign saying shoes are required, like many stores have - NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE,

Desired outcome: I also want an apology that the store allowed him to keep shopping, and served him at the checkout, as well as some assurances that I'll never have see a disgusting thing like this again in your Hilliard, FL store.

"Karen" much? No one forced you to continue looking at his feet. Did you ask permission or just start snapping pictures? Either way, YATA. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the Nassau County Health Department when they receive this complaint. If anyone is deserving of an apology, it is him.

Dollar General Hamburger buns

I bought a pack of Clover Valley hamburger buns on 07/19/2023, with the best if used by JUL [protected]:45 3, and these buns are so horrible. Stale, tops crumbling off, kinda stiff and aren't worth sh&*! I purchased them from a dollar general in mayfield ky, Hwy 303 to be exact...just when I thought that clover valley may be almost equivalent to other name brands they go and put out some crap like this, low quality and most definitely overpriced for the product period! Shame on you~

Desired outcome: I would like my money back

Dollar General Classic Roast Coffee

The coffee doesn’t expire until Sept of 2023 yet when I opened it it smelled stale. I made one cup of coffee with it and it was terrible. It tasted as stale as it smelled. I reached out to Dollar General with my complaint. They requested UPC code, where bought, etc. I sent back all that information and nothing. That was almost 2 months ago. I’ve repeatedly tried to contact the company with no response. I just want my money back.

Desired outcome: Reimburse me for the cost of the can of coffee

I went yet again to a Dollar General in Hendersonville and I remembered to take in my coupon. I spent way over the required amount, there was no expiration date and it could be used any day of the week. I handed it to the cashier/manager and before he looked at it “said it wasn’t good - only on Saturday.” I said the coupon doesn’t say Sat. only. He ignored...

Employees have 2 chairs and a table set up on the sidewalk that customers use to get from parking lot to door of store. They sat with their legs out and smoking cigerattes so the customers have to walk over their feet and through the smoke to get to the door or they have to step out in the parking lot to avoid this. I have asked the manager a couple of...

That was to benefit the company. Also he came in to...

I normally shop at the dollar general on Kirk Rd in Austintown Ohio and most of the staff that works there are great. Today I shopped there and there was a new lady working that had a horrible attitude. She was shelving boxes in the isles and tossing items with such rag. Maybe she was having a horrible day. Thats not good customer service to act with such rage in front of the customers.

In the first week of june, our store shut down for 3 days because our store manager, both of the assistant managers, and a couple key holders walked out because the district manager was ignoring the issues being brought to her attention.

Dollar General Treatment of employees by store manager

While I was making a purchase the store manager was verbally abusive to the employee, in front of a line of customers. The employee kept their composure and didn't react (I would have quit right then if it had been me). This was totally inappropriate and unnecessary. I will not be going back to that store as this is not the way any employees should be treated.

I am borrowing a friend's phone and email for this as I do not have an email account. Please do not try to contact me. Thanks

Ericka was so rude. She has been rude many times before, but today was more than usual and in front of other customers. She wants all the customers to use the self-checkout.
