Dollar General Manager

I was told I was trespassed for using tap pay and while using it the system rebooted, I went and got an employee who stood and watched while it rebooted and I successfully purchased my items, I went in the next day and was told I couldn't be in the store and they showed me a picture of the register camera that was me in the picture waiting for it to reboot. The manager sent a text with the picture of me to all the employees and one former employee who replied to the text message, "She's stealing huh?" I don't understand what I did wrong to be trespassed. Or why my picture was being sent to former employees that seem to be slandering/profiling

No, not for any of those reasons, I was told it was because the tap pay button wasn't working on the first register I was at so I moved to the other register, when I held my phone up to the pin pad for tap pay it said system rebooting. I then went and got an employee who stood behind me for about 3 min waiting for it to reboot. I then used the pin pad and completed my purchase.

One day later I went to go check out and an emplyrr told me she had to ask me to leave that I wasn't allowed there anymore and a police report was filed for messing with their equipment. And she then showed me a picture that she got In a group text to all the other employees and one former employee. The picture was of me standing with my hand down in front of me waiting for the system to reboot, the former employee responded to the picture with she's stealing huh?

Me and 2 other customers was waiting to check out for about 5 minutes when I overheard voices coming from office. I looked around into door and ask, 'can we check out?'. The cashier (young white male) said 'I was not supposed to stick head in door to tell them I'm ready to check out.' There was the young white male and older black female, I told him 'I...

Dollar General Unprofessional customer service by Alex in CT @ Dollar General .

I went into to Dollar General it was raining all day 9/25/23. I had two bags of my own. I asked Alex Cashier for one of their grey plastic bag so my things don’t get wet. He told me he wasn’t allowed because they are expensive. Ridiculous.

I asked for a yellow plastic bag an extra he said No. I told Alex I would pay for it. I have Contacted their Corporate office about this Disrespectful BS about this illiterate cashier.

Dollar General Store on Gallatin Pike, in Madison TN is closed during store hours. We have pulled into the DG parking lot many times to shop, only to find the doors locked. I understand emergencies, or cleaning, or some sort of cash register malfunctions; however this does not seem to be the issue. At 4:45 this evening, Sept.22nd, the doors were locked...

Dollar General Netspend debit card

I went dollar general and put 100$ on a netspend debit card. Came home to pay a bill with it but it would not let me use the card. I called netspend and they told me I wasn't registered on their computer. I have used netspend for 20 years. But I went ahead and registered again and tried to register the card again but it wouldn't register the card. So I called netspend again and they told me the same thing again and told me to go back to dollar general. Si I went back to dollar general and the manager told me she couldn't put the 100$ on another card that I had to contact INCOMM.com. since I contacted them 4 times now and this is where I'm at on this situation. Now my bill is past due. Water is shut off and now I have to come up with another 60$ plus the 100$ to have my water turned back on and I have no money to have it turned back on.

Desired outcome: To have the money put on another card I just got from netspend. Please

I had told the person if she went to he that there would be repercussions against me. She didn’t put that in her complaint. They suspected me and told me to take a long weekend.

Dollar General employee

Very rude and vulgar behavior in the Uniontown area Dollar general. The employee had a name tag of Kalie and she acted as though we were invading her space. She was in the phone with someone-appeared to be voice texting-and several times used the "[censored]" word. While I understand that people use that word frequently, we feel that it is very unprofessional for a store employee to be heard.

We do hope that some disciplinary action will be taken against this employee.

TY

Steve from Keisterville, PA

Desired outcome: When I go into the store with my child, I expect not to be spoken down to or have vulgarity used around my child while shopping from a staff member.

I was in the above store on September 10, 2023 around 2pm. Many of the aisles were partially blocked by full racks of stock (at least 6 or more) waiting to be shelved. The clerks on duty were wasting time filling the candy and gum shelves when there was clearly more urgent areas to attend. There is an obvious problem with time management and personnel. A...

Dollar General Ye old christmas decorations

The older Dollar General Store in Jay Oklahoma, last week they had all their Christmas Decorations from the last year or longer on sale 50% off. This week the same decorations are full price again. Somebody needs to go look at this Store by suprise. Its dirty there is always no room to get around very well because they have so much and carts with more stuff to put away everywhere. It is not a one time thing literally everyday I shop there the poor crew is struggling to get things off the many carts all over and on the shelf. So why not clear out that old merchandise and make room for the new? Seriously someone is going to get hurt trying to navigate this store.

Desired outcome: Fix it get more help or have floater to help with organization, get new management on all levels. Store is a disgrace to Dollar General.

We walked in the store, my wife and I along with our 5 year old son, and the fellow working the counter asked my boy if he saw the skeleton. He then proceeded to tell my 5 year old that it was from a little boy (just like him) that donated his body to science.

I’m a current employee of the company, along with my fiancé. We were hired together, under the same address, and the DM and SM knew we were together and told us that was fine, as long as it didn’t interfere with our work ethic and focus, or any fornication didnt occur on store property.
