I was shopping with my daughter when the manager pulled me out of line and asked to see me in the back. He said he had me on video but I could come clean. I asked what I did. He would not tell me. I asked to see the video he refused to let me and then said if he was mistaken he humbly apologized. I asked him again to see the video and he told me to drop it...

Dollar General Customer Service and Store condition

Our Dollar General store in Galveston is a disaster. The store is dirty and the staff are almost confrontational when you go to the register to check out. The staff stand around in the managers office while merchandise is sitting on the floor. You can't get down aisles because there isn't any room to maneuver your cart around the things on the floor. sales prices are listed but things ring up differently than what is posted. One staff person had her car repo'd while she was at work and was cussing and using foul language in front of customers on the sales floor. Nothing was done by the manager. I have since stopped going to the Dollar General and trying to shop. The shelves are empty, entire shelves. There is no sense in this happening in any store. Get rid of the entire staff and start new. Or an easier remedy is to just close the store. As town people we are sick of going there and never finding what we need and we still have to go to Kokomo to a grocery store to pick up what we need. I thought the premise of having a Dollar General in the small towns was for convenience. All I ever get when I go down there is frustrated!

Dollar General Stock is always in the isle needing to be put on the shelfs.

Dollar General store located in Ramhurst Ga
Stock is left on the large buggies blocking the isles, shelfs are empty of items. Some of the workers stand around on their phone or talk/gossip with customers at length unrelated to work. Forget trying to use a buggy for your items since you are unable to get down the isle to the things you need. This is a ongoing problem with this store. I have been going else where to do my shopping, avoiding this store altogether, even though it is closest to my home.

Desired outcome: Hire more people to stock shelfs, or terminate those for poor job performance.

Dollar General Poor Customer Service

I'm so disappointed in the customer service I received at my local Dollar General. There are not many shopping options I'm my town, but I know I will never step foot in another Dollar General again. Not only are you unable to use printed coupons (that a retailer has emailed to you even), the $5 off $25 coupon is crap when it has to be after any other coupons have been applied. The cashier and manager were so rude to me when I was trying to ask questions and explain. None of my other coupons were coming off and the manager wouldn't allow most of them as they were the exact match of what was pictured but still qualified based on the description and was not in the excluded category. When calling customer service line, she couldn't even find where it stated printed coupons are not accepted. When asking about the 5 off $25 she just said to find more items. Seriously?! I can go to Target where I can use my Target Circle, printed coupons plus still get 5% off my purchase using my Target card. Why would I mess with poor customer service and a company that doesn't want to work with their customers? No thanks.

Desired outcome: Policy change.

The coupons were fake. Often fraudulent coupons will have pictures of items that do not match the description. You kind of should have known they were fake based on that alone. They do allow coupons to be stackable with the $5 off $25 coupon as long as the other coupons are manufacturer's coupons but will not allow it to be stackable with store coupons. Printed coupons are not allowed unless printed by an authorized provider most printed coupons were not authorized to be printed by the manufacturer.

Dollar General Dangerous Driver

Speeding Dollar General Truck (trailer 38429) through the town of Leesville, Louisiana today (4/15/21) at about 2:45 pm... Additionally, laid on the horn and flipped another driver off, without justification, when the person in front of them simply had to slow down to make a left-hand turn on Nolan Trace at a busy intersection of 5th Street (northbound) and Nolan Trace.-Fire Fighter / Paramedic

Desired outcome: Retraining and monitoring. Dismiss if a previous similar complaint or if it occurs again within a year.

I have a complaint about a rude manager. I went into dollar general to buy my daughter a pack of chips. As I was putting the chips on the self checkout, my keys which were hanging from my wrist hit the metal on the self checkout register. I admit I even made a face because I didn't mean to do that. No where was it around the glass. Then a lady who had a...

Dollar General Poor treatment by store manager

I brought back a package of strawberry gelatin with peaches because the taste was terrible. They refused to refund the $2.00 for the remaining 3 unopened cups. Is this the store policy for the store manager to deny a refund? Oliver was the individual that told me the manager refused to refund the item. Please reply if this is correct. I will shop elsewhere if this is the policy. Thanks in advance for your reply. Kind regards,
William Roper

Well store policy and company policy are 2 different things. Company policies are rules and regulations imposed by the company on all stores, store policies are rules and regulations imposed by the store manager on their own specific store. Usually when it comes to food it can only be returned for poor quality not because you don't like it.

On 4/6/21 I bought 6 Amazon gift cards, when I tried to use them 1 showed as invalid. I contacted Amazon and they said that the point of purchase was responsible for a refund. When I went back to the store the manager told me that Dollar General was not responsible for the card. I want my money back on the invalid card. Store number is #03393. Amount of gift card is $100.00. My name is Terry Cooper 24 Wilczek Rd. Lumberton, Ms.

Hi there, I really wish someone would look into an incident at the following store: 351 E Steve Warriner Dr Russell Springs, KY [protected]. My brother recently was hired (and fired) within about 2 days. My question to you is, "What kind of management do you have working there?" I mean seriously, who fires someone after 2 days? That sounds like terrible...

Dollar General Service

Our dg in Randolph, VT just fired Aleasha Finkle. The only cashier that consistently was doing her job and not out front smoking cigarettes all day while customers had to wait 10 minutes or more to check out. Aleasha has learning disabilities but did her job. She forgot to bring in plastic pools from outside and was terminated. Even though the pools were there in morning. This was the first time she forgot. Why didn't she get a warning? This store has trouble keeping employees and the store has been a mess since the first manager passed away. Big mistake.
