The store in Waterloo, IN is such a mess. I do not understand why product can not be removed from shelves and put away and then bring in a cart at a time to put inventory away. Sometimes 5 to 6 carts full of inventory in the aisles. Can't get to product and barely get down the aisle. I know of a person who asked to work P/T during the week to put inventory...

The dollar general at pennsylvania ave west mifflin pa location, is disgusting they don't like cleaning their store. The managers make the older employees do all the work while younger sit around talking it's bull and let them use others registers that are not there own. I myself use to work there and to see it gone down hill, from when I was there.

My husband and I went into the troy, tn dollar general location and was treat so disrespectful. My husband is a welder/fabricator and works in a shop. As we were checking out at the counter on his break time the store manager Ashley proceeded to tell him how bad he smelled. This was very unprofessional and disrespectful to customers who work hard everyday...

I went into a Dollar General in Pensacola, FL off of Exit 17 on Scenic Hwy recently. I went in and was shocked to see not a customer but an EMPLOYEE wearing a COVID mask that said, BLACK LIVES MATTER. It's such a cause of division today that it amazes me that a company store logo wouldn't be worn vs this. I understand that DG is unique in that it doesn't...

I just hate going into the Dollar Store in Scott City, Kansas. I was in the store on September 22, 2020. The isles was so packed with freight you can't get down the isles. The floors are really filthy. I don't understand how and why that store is the way it is. I have been in Leoti, and Dighton stores and they are very clean and they are not crowded isles.

I purchased two items that were 50% off. The guy working rang it up, then took half off and rang it up again. I tried to tell him something wasn't right. He kept apologizing. My complaint is... He did not know how to give me my money back. Told him I would leave and come back when the manager is there. He said she would be in about 430-5. So, I wait til...

Thursday, 9/17/2020, 5:05 p.m. My daughter, a minor, a mature teen tried to purchase items at the Dollar General Store, Troy, Texas, but the system would not allow the transaction. My daughter knew that she had the amount of money in her account and that she had money in her savings that she would transfer, if needed. Due to the transaction, not going...

As a retired Manager of a multi million dollar retail business I realize the challenges of operating a business. I have been shopping your Dollar General store at 6139 Lincoln Way East Fayetteville, Pa since it opened. Over the last year the stores in stock conditions have deteriorated significantly but since the most recent remodel/upgrade the condition...

It's ridiculous for one to post signs all over your stores about face covering but what's even more ignorant is for your own managers not to wear them or enforce customers to wear them so either take down the damn signs and forget about it or make your employees and customers wear a mask I will not be shopping at my local dollar general because of this fact...

Dollar General Employees without masks and rude about it

I went to my local DG Store on McCormick Rd in Amarillo, TX. The employees there were not wearing masks and when I asked them why.. they were rude. They were telling me that masks didn't work and said that the CDC rules made them post the signs and that they didn't impose it on anyone to wear a mask. I asked if as employees they were required to wear them. They said they didn't have to. I am going to go to another Dollar chain if this is your policy. I can't believe the rudeness and inconsideration of these employees.

Dollar General covid-19

I am a frequent shopper (at least 3 times per week) at your store #17423. Every time I go in the employees aren't wearing any masks, and customers are all over the store without masks. I just left there, (about 3:00pm on mon sept 14) and saw 2 employees at counter talking with some customers, no masks. There are signs on doors and registers stating masks must be worn, and I know Biloxi has a regulation concerning this. Are you going to enforce this or not? If not I will be shopping at a different chain.

I have been to many many dollar stores and in a lot of different areas due to my both my boys being in sports. I have never been in one that was so disorganized. There is usually nothing on shelves. All the stock Is on rolling carts in almost every aisle. You can barely get down any aisle. During holiday season I tried to give the store benefit of the...

This is the issue the company will hire 15 to 20 people, but only allows the management to have 2 people working a shift! There needs to be at least 3 to 4 people working besides the manager! (some managers don't do anything but sit on their butts in the office all day while the employees bust their butts to get stuff stocked) there is no way to get...

I was in the Dollar General in Amsterdam NY on East Main street, I wanted to purchase Lysol wipes that were on the shelf. Two men came in and bought all of the wipes leaving none for no-one else to purchase. In this time of COVID there used to be only 2 per customers now you have people buying all of them. This is no way to run a business, this is very...

Its not just at that location either. I have...

Dollar General Customer service

Recently in the last months a dollar general opened. I've been in maybe 10-15 different times as it's a convient stop for me. However, upon each visit the customer service I not only witness, but receive as well is awful. The employees are very hateful speaking to customers. I understand people have bad days, but it's different when it's the same upon every visit to the point where I would rather take my business elsewhere even if it means paying more for the product I purchase. Today took the cake though. Not only was the cashier rude at the register and was rushing me out the door before I even completed my purchase, but it was a bit biased that this woman was so friendly with the black lady in front of me and then very rude to me and my child. Highly inappropriate behavior to display in front of children.

This was my Danes last litter of puppies and just to think I lost half the litter was devastating to our family we are Huge dog people and this is very disheartening to us

I have been going to this store since it opened. Store is very clean. The staff has always been nice and polite. Until today. There was a young lady (new) asked if I was going to use my ebt card. Ebt card? What made her think I had a ebt card? I replied to her "no, I don't have an ebt card. Why would you assume that? She didn't have an answer and her I...
