After three trips into New Blaine Arkansas Dollar General, all staff members were wearing masks, but under their chin, not covering mouth or nose. I'm a 71 year old man with cardiac problems, my wife is 69 with stage 4 matastatic breast cancer. Neither of us can afford catching corona virus. We wear our masks diligently, I am fully aware that the mask I'm...

We live in downtown Madison, Indiana and are currently without a grocery store. Dollar General is the closest source for quick shopping but most of the time the shelves are almost bare. Several times the store has been closed for several days in a row (not including after their robbery recently). Staff stand outside and smoke sometimes leaving the store alone with customers shopping or standing at the checkout. It's dirty.

Dollar General The building of dollar general in village of augusta

To whom this concerns:

I am writing on behalf of the approval of the new site at the Village of Augusta, Michigan. I understand You will be filling in the land which is a 100 year flood plane. Filling of this property will cause flooding in multiple residents back yards. We were not included in this decision which you have received permission to do so. Since we have gone to the village with our complaints they have given us a teleconference to voice concerns about this. To me it seems as though they already have gone behind our back and has made this possible for you to do so. There are other areas in this village that will not effect the residence yards being flooded. I am asking as a concerned resident of the village to consider another location.

I am asking who will be paying for the damage to my basement when the flooding takes place. Second concern that we have is the traffic backing up along Michigan Ave considering this is directly across from Knappen Milling grain Mill with multiple semi trucks coming and going. Your presumed customers will be held up in the parking lot during rush hour traffic due to the traffic from Fort Custer Industrial Parks main route to Kalamazoo and to get out on to I94. This will surly deter anyone from even stopping into this store.

On behalf of the residents of Augusta we ask that you consider putting your building at the opposite end of this village to avoid the said traffic back up and the flooding of our community. I believe it would be better to open your business with the agreement of the people to have you hear, then to go behind our backs and cause hardship and damage to our homes unnecessarily. There is already a DG in Galesburg 4mile west and all so 4 mile east in Urbandale, why do you want to destroy a flood plan when it is not necessary.

Thank You

Dollar General firing/penny item

Are employees allowed to purchase penny items when off the clock? Are they allowed to lay an item back to purchase when they get off work? Are employees allowed to gather penny items from stock room to give a customer? Can one employee check out another employee that's off the clock to buy a penny item? Does all this apply to DG managers?

I was couponing and an employee that was in normal clothes (no uniform) by the name of micki came to me and told me since I was penny shopping (which I wasn't, I had my phone out scanning items making sure my digital coupons would work for the items before I got them to the register and than they wouldn't work) that I needed to go to the register and check...

Dollar General Duck sausage dog treats

Yesterday aug 9th my dog got food poisoning from these duck sausage dog treats. I had to rush her to the emergency vet hospital for immediate care. She could not even keep water down. My poor dog can still barely eat a day later. I also had a huge bill from the hospital because of this. Please be aware of this if your a dog owner. My girl was very ill and it was scary to witness these are just some pictures my master bedroom was covered in dog vomit!

I sometimes shop at the Dollar General Store located at 1010 Sams Creek Road, Ashland City, TN. Although two signs on the door indicate that a face covering is required for entry, I noticed on several occasions that customers were shopping without masks. One of the employees was also without mask while working in the aisles. Upon checkout, I asked the clerk...

I visited a recently opened Dollar General on Market Street Ext in Cheraw SC 29520 on August 9 2020 around 6 pm and the music that was playing in the store was very offensive and inappropriate for a Business. The music was extremely loud and contained offensive language using the "F" word. The store had numerous customers that included kids. As a loyal customer I feel this issue needs to be addressed.

Today I went to the Dollar Store to get a few things, two of the items were on sale, and the lady at the register did not give me the sale price for either one. I had to ask for the sale price after questioning me about one and finally giving me the credit she said the other one was a digital coupon for laundry detergent and she wouldn't give me the...

The manager in my store let's animals in all the time. One in particular takes its companion dog off the leash and let's it run around
Goes behind where the checkers are while they are working. He has a service dog vest on her but has never been trained. You can't from what I understand do it because you sell groceries. Concerned Customer me

Dollar General Life's necessity's

My girlfriend and I were in the store this evening getting some last minuet things like water, and laundry detergent etc. We hurried to get what we needed and made our way to the front to check out. The cashier was already complaining about it being closing time with a rude tone of voice, and as we started to pay, we realized we didn't have enough funds to cover the total. The cashier "Christine" was even more foul when she realized we did not have enough money, complaining about having to ring our items up again. She voided out the EBT so we didn't get any of the food that we needed, along with other items like, drinking water, laundry detergent, and personal care products. The clerk refused to ring up anything that we really needed, and proceeded to rush us out of the store. I am very unsatisfied with the customer care at this establishment, to say the least, and I am most likely going to avoid shopping there anymore due to this evening's experience.

At 15:33 I was in the Dollar General store in Alice Texas (#03200). I was patiently waiting in line to purchase a bag of ice. A young lady approached me and told me I needed a mask. I told her that I have a medical condition and can not wear a mask and that according to the County Judges office and the governor of Texas I did not need to wear a mask. Fine...
