Dollar General total.com phone

My children purchased a phone for their father for Christmas ar Dollar General. Even though the phone was purchased in the area it can not be activated & used in the area.
As you can see By the attached pictures I contacted Total.com as well as Dollar General who refused to refund the phone.
It is just wrong that this should happen, I cannot let it go and let them lose the money. I shop at Dollar General pretty often ([protected] my account) but I am considering stopping.

Dollar General management complaint and employee

3/25/18 I went to store number 1650. When I entered the store I could hear 2 people talking and discovered it was the on-duty manager and an employee. I was there for about 10 minutes. After making my selections I could still hear them talking. I waited at the register along with another customer. Finally, I went and asked them if anyone was going to check us out so we could pay. The other customer had put her items in front of mine so I set them back to the side from mine. Then the employee grabbed her items and rang them up with mine assuming she was with me. He clearly was not paying attention to his job. I guess he wanted to get back to his conversation with the manager. The manager, of course, had to void the item.

This was ridiculous and is not the way a store should be run!

Dollar General dollar general brand body wash

I purchased your equivalent to Olay moisturizing body wash. I showered with it last night and once I dried off I became very hot and began itching all over my body so badly that I couldn't even lay with a sheet on me all night. I took an antihistamine but it didn't help very much. I have been miserable for over 12 hours. Should I throw it away?
Can you send me some type of reimbursement and something for my suffering?
I shop your store 2 to 3 times a week and this is the first time I have had a reaction to your brand.

Dollar General expired products

On Sunday March 25, 2018, my husband went into the Dollar General on Columbia Drive in Decatur, Georgia to purchase a few item. When he returned, I noticed two gallons of milk that he purchased from this store was expired. This isn't the first time something of this nature has happened. When returning back to the store, nothing was done due to every gallon of milk in the store being expired. This isn't only a waste of money, it's hirribke business. As a previous Assistant Store Manager for Dollar Express, this is unacceptable.

"As a previous Assistant Store Manager for Dollar Express, this is unacceptable." What in the [censor] do you think makes you so special about having been an assistant store manager? You think you deserve better treatment because of previous status? How about you tell your husband to pull his head out of his [censor] and look at the [censor]ing dates on the milk before he buys it. Don't like that the cheapest store in your town sells borderline expiration dated milk? Then go to a different store. You're nothing special.

Dollar General manager unwilling to correct coupon mistakes

I was checking out and had used digital coupons. Before I was finished I asked the cashier to make sure the discounts had been applied. She told me there was too much on the receipt and advised me to go over it and if anything was missed, her manager would correct it. I took everything to my car and reviewed the receipt. Multiple digital coupons were missed, which was frustrating because they were items I normally wouldn't have purchased. The $5 Off $25 Saturday only coupon was even missed. When I came back in to have the manager correct my total, she told me she didn't know how to fix my issue and handed my receipt back to me. Aggravated to say the least.

Dollar General I am a past employee store 16465

My name is Sara Cooper employee #2118646 and I am no longer employed with Dollar General.I did recieve a letter in the mail stating I was a no call no show/walked off job. This is not true. I feel I was harassed by the manager and bullied by the assistant. The manager Jack Vance would call me "pet names" such as sweet Sara bara, honey, sweet cheeks, and girl as saying it flirtatious and slang like. I calked Jack personally on Feb. 26 to put my 2 week notice in and he was rude and started yelling about thats BS and how it puts him in a spot. I worked that evening and the assisatant manager Ashley told me she felt like stabbing me in the face for going to work at Hiltop. (business down the road) Jack came in and told me he had a replacement for me and that night would be my last night so he could train the new one. I said ok. I live in very rural area 4 miles from this store and so many people have told me how bad Jack has been talking about me. One conversation was recorded about him slandering me. I am thinking about making a report to anywhere and everywhere including BBB, unless you can tell me with guarantee this nonsence will stop. I live and work in this same area and its been a month and I have had enough. Dollar General is the only store besides gas stations and a grocery store (that is 8 miles away from dg) around and its a great store and great location but manager and team is what makes the store and I have lived here 20 years and know many people and I have kept my mouth shut so far but about to go viral.

Dollar General cashier

I was at Dollar General on 1156 N Cass Street in Wabash Indianan, on 3/22/18 at approximately 8 pm - 8:30pm trying to purchase a couple of items. When I arrived at the cash register there was a lady in front of me who had already checked out I could tell this because she had her things in bags and in her cart and on the shelf that had the plastic bags. While standing there patiently waiting the cashier and the lady were going through the ladies phone what appeared they were doing is reading text messages. Never mind that I was waiting to check out so after about 5 minutes of this I sat the items down and left. I have done a lot of business in this store but if this is the way customers are going to be treated I will not be back. The cashiers name was Lisa.

Dollar General merchandise not being on the shelf and the survey coupons.

I was in your store # 0255 at 17:38 and as usual the charmin bonus 12 pack was not on the shelf. Eight times out of ten the $5.00 dollar pkg I like to buy is not in stock. And since you've knocked the survey coupon down to $2.00 for $20.00 spent it is not worth the extra trip for me. I can save 10% where I work. I don't get the bonus pkg but, I don't get it at your store either. The very next day I went in for TWO items and SURPRISE, one of them was not in stock. It was the Dixie paper bowls. It really is getting to be not worth the time and effort to make a special trip to this store.

Dollar General customer service

There's a cashier named Ashley that wears super tight clothing (leggings and Vnecks or just regular tight jeans) and flirts with all the customers every time I go in. Even dirty old men! So unprofessional. And she doesn't hardly ID anyone for cigarettes I've noticed. Just sometimes. She also always on her phone when she's not on register and the store could be an absolute mess around her. I've asked her help a couple times to find something for me and she claimed to have no idea where it was both times, cell phone in hand. I'm familiar with "Snapchat" as I have a 16 year old son. That is what she uses, constantly taking pictures of herself. That girl just needs to start working, wearing real clothes, and carding people like she's supposed to. She's not there to pick up a date.

Dollar General cashier

I shop at the dollar general in Williamsburg, VA on Merrimac Trail. I was in the store today March 22, 2018 at 2:21 pm. I was expecting to spend around $15.00 or less but the cashier rung me up wrong. He charged me twice for one item that cost me an extra $2.35. Also, my digital coupon of $3.00 off of a $15.00 purchase did not work. Also, the Canada Dry sodas are marked .95 sale price they rung up for $1.25 each. When it is all said and done I am out of $6.00 and tax. When I tell the cashier that my items were rung up wrong he claims he does not know how to refund the difference. So I called customer service. A dollar or two is ok but, when you take $6.00 out of my pocket that is another matter.

Dollar General digital coupons

I go to your store daily. And spend alot of money at least 58 Everytime I come in. I go to use YOUR digital coupons. And they don't work or your employees tell me I don't have it in coupons. When clearly I do. I'm done with your store. Becides everyone I've been is is nasty. With the money I spend there you can afford to have someone come in and clean it and do the floors. I'll just go to family Dollar or Walmart at least they honor there coupons.

Dollar General store condition

The photos tell the story. I visited this store on March 21, 2018. I feel really sorry for the employees trying to work in this dump, you can't even move in this place. It looks like a tornado ripped through here. It's been going down hill for a few months, I was hoping it would get better. I'm taking my money to the Family Dollar down the street, it's immaculate!
This Dollar General is on New York Ave in Arlington Texas 76018

Dollar General register fails to print a receipt.

Dollar General #09717, 420 McNulty St, Blythewood, SC 29016

For the past several months, one of the two registers (used regularly) prints an incomplete receipt. I have a serious problem with this. Thank God, I haven't had the need to return anything back but how could I if the items purchased could barely be made out on the receipt. Only thing listed is the price, not the description of the item. I've brought this concern up several times and was told that it has been submitted up through corporate. So now, it's been almost 4mths and still dealing with this issue is not only an inconvenience but poor customer service. I ask that this matter is resolved to prevent any future altercation from any customer in the event an item is returned or want to obtain a cash refund.
