Dollar General customer service

Cashier was rude. I asked where an item was and he told me an isle. So i told him he can cancel my stuff and put it to the side and take the next customers while i went to go look. I come back and theres a long line of customers waiting on me. He gave me an attitude about it. If he had listened, he wouldnt have had a long line. Made me feel uncomfortable because all those people had to wait on me after i told him to take the next customers while i looked. Didnt need the attitude after. Wasnt my fault.

Dollar General unethical behavior

My girlfriend and I where walking into the Nahunta Dollar store, well there is an employee by the Chasitt Larry She started staring at us like we were doing something wrong, well I asked my girlfriend what was up and it turns out she had to be removed from the FlashFood on main st in Nahunta by girlfriend and her manager. We have spoken with several managers to no avail. Now the lady has resorted to going up to my girlfriends work and calling her names and trying to make her hurt. once again she was removed from the property by the Brantley County sheriffs office Deputy Richard Troop and Sgt. Vanessa Williams are the two deputies who have handled both calls and have all the times and case numbers. Its a shame we can not even take our son into his favorite store I would like to see this employee terminated and apologies to my family for the mental anguish this lady has caused. I will be giving you 24 hrs to respond to this letter or I will be going to involve my lawyer

Dollar General blood glucose test strips

All of the available blood glucose test strips had expired in June of 2016. Expired test strips can give false readings. People need these and they need them to be in date. It could lead to serious problems if not. I had the cashier check all six boxes of test strips that were in the store, and they were all out of date. They are very reasonably priced at Dollar General, but there's no point in buying them there if they are out of date.

Dollar General manager

The manager at the dollar general on hwy 165 in pollock Louisiana 71467 Stephanie is very lazy. I watched a young female employee pull in several heavy bags of charcoal and some kind of rack in by herself while the manager ( Stephanie) did absolutely nothing. This is ridiculous. I shop there pretty often and knowing that the so called manager wants her employee to do that by herself late at night at that and doesn't help is sad. In my opinion she needs to be bumped back down to the bottom and learn how to work as a team, and just expect the young lady to do that by herself.

What you failed to realize is that customer service rep just saved that little boy's life why would you allow a child a baby to walk around a public place especially a public bathroom barefoot Gross

Dollar General hostile, rude & disrespectful employees & managers!

I think its ridiculous how Dollar General stores allow their Employees & Managers to treat Customers! My dollar general store is the same way, the manager and employees treat me like im a criminal. I feel nervous and have severe anxiety when i shop there. I dread checking out at the register or asking an employee for assistance. They are very rude, have a bad attitude towards customers, disrespectful, and extremely unprofessional! Last time i checked, the customers are what pays the bills there and makes it possible for employees to have steady income! After my experience today at store # 13418, in Mount Sterling KY, I will NO longer shop there, im tired of getting verbally abused in front of other customers and shopping in a hostile environment. Need to call the BBB on them and News Channel 36 on your side to have them investigated! Not to mention, report them to OSHA and all the clutter in the store is a safety and fire hazard, and its not handicap accessable. Theres no way a disable person can move around in the store because of clutter and blocked isles. Very dirty and unorganized. Employees treat customers horribly! I would be ashamed of myself to run a store that functions that way!

Dollar General the interior and exterior of store.

I shop at the local dollar general every week. I choose to shop there for the prices and its either there or the IGA. It just seems that every time I go, I do not enjoy it. The exterior is always dirty. Granted, the parking lot is shared with other businesses but the employees of DG are always outside smoking by the front door, and they feed stray cats so they are always by the door waiting for food. I understand they place outdoor items on the sidewalk for purchase (pools, patio furniture etc) and clearance items also, but at least make it a little bit easier and cleaner for the customers to be able to browse the items. Now on to the interior. Today I made the decision to shop at the DG and not FoodLion to do some shopping for groceries and household items. When I walked in, there were no buggies. I walked all around the store and I counted 4 that had stuff in them that were just sitting down different isles and 1 that was by the restrooms. There were only 2 employees working. One on the register and one that was sitting in a patio chair for sale smoking cigarette. I had the intention of spending my hard earned money there but I was limited since I had to use a handheld basket. The store is always a mess. There is no organization and I cannot imagine an elderly person able to move around in the store very easily with all of the tripping hazards. I am not trying to complain but I know if I feel this way, there has to be others. My family and I shop there for the prices and for a quick experience but the line is sometimes 5 people long with a few items. The employees are in no hurry to get you checked out. I enjoy being able to browse the isles and look for items that I cant find anywhere else but again, it's difficult when there are no buggies and the isles make it impossible to get thru. I have been shopping there for 5 years and it is getting out of control. I shop there for groceries, toiletries, home décor, seasonal items, little items for a family member and even some Christmas shopping. Please do not let this fall on deaf ears. Thank you.

I told her I could handle my grand children, at this point I was very upset, we left, will my grandson came out with the ball, I took it back, she left her register to tell me to get that little animal, that my granddaughter had, I went to get it. I will not be back in that store as long as she is in there, she look like everything but a employee, I worked in retail for 15 years, and I know that you don't treat anybody like that. The store was nasty, carts in the way some aisle you couldn't even get down the aisle, this happen 4/29/2017

Dollar General employee

Their is an employee by the name of Shelly that smells like urine and like she hasn't bathed in several days. She stocks food and you can't even walk down the aisle she is stocking without becoming nauseous. It makes 8it very difficult to shop at this location knowing someone with such poor hygiene habits are handling food items. Please someone help this lady with her problem.

Dollar General employee

My name is Heather Pinney. I live in Jefferson, Ohio 44047.I live right next door to Dollar General so i am literally in there everyday. I like some of the girls who work there, but i am totally fed up with a lady who started a couple months ago. She always wears a sweatshirt over her name tag but i know her name starts with "TAM." so i'm assuming her name is Tami(Tammy). She is late 40's-early 50's age. shoulder length hair. wears glasses. She is so rude to everyone! Especially if you ask for cigarettes. She rolls her eyes so much, she sighs SO loud as if she is really annoyed with everything you bought. And it's not just one time, it's everyday that she works. Alot of people around here are sick of her attitude. I'm almost afraid to ask her for cigarettes not knowing how she will react. Please do something about her in our local store.

Dollar General cashier candi

I was waiting in line and there was a lady with 3 small kids and they cashier yelled at the 3 small kids and she did it twice before the other cashier heather called me over because she knew I was getting mad that she yelled at customer kids. Found her very rude and poor customer service. This happened on [protected] around 3:50 to 4:20pm. It was an older lady about 45 to 60 years old that was the cashier. Really hope something is done because that is very bad.

Dollar General both bathrooms were out of order at the same time last night

Last night we went up to the Sargent Dollar General after the other two stores down here were closed. I had to pee really bad and both bathrooms were out of order. We drove around the side of the building so I could pee by the truck. Somebody drove by. I got nervous and wound up peeing on my self. How can both bathrooms be out of order at the same time? At least one bathroom should be functional at all times.

Dollar General a female employee

I was in the Greers Ferry Dollar General tonight (April 27, 2017) and the female employee that was working was screaming at the male employee. Literally screaming at him. This was an adult woman who was throwing a tantrum like a child! And she was an employee! This is a business not a daycare. She is one of the reasons I go in this store as little as possible. I have seen her there almost every time I have gone in there and she is one employee I avoid. One of the reasons is because I watched her watch a customer shoplift and she did NOTHING about it. I even asked her if she saw it and she just laughed a little and said "yeah" and that was it! I was ashamed to go back in there for such a long time after that. Then tonight when I went in there to have to witness her acting so horrible just put me over the edge. I doubt I will go in there again because of this woman. Something honestly needs to be done about her. She was verbally abusive (including foul language) to the other employee and I was NOT the only witness to this either.

Dollar General customer service

On 4-27-17 I went to the Centerville Iowa store, one employee was outside smoking. I found my items and went the the register. No one was at the register and in the 5 or so minutes that I waited the manager walked by three times close enough to see me and just ignored me. I finally left my stuff at the register and left. This happens nearly every time I go to this store. I will not be going back again. The workers seem more worried about stocking shelves then providing custumer service and the manager is a grouchy witch.

Dollar General service

The cashier was out front of building talking on cell phone and smoking a cigarette while customers were inside store, had to wait till she decided to come back in store to pay for my stuff. I finally got checked out at 18:41, It's uncalled for her to be out side with people in the store. That would be the time to take something and put it in their pockets to steal if they wanted to.

Dollar General tide pods 12 ct & gain pods 16 ct

We regularly go into our local dollar general by our house, at least once every other day. So we saw the signs to join the digital coupon and figured it would be a good idea to sign up.
I saw the ad with the tide & gain pods & the downy unstoppables on sale.
The ad specifically shows the pods were priced at .95 each and the unstoppables at 2.45. When we checked out the manager on duty said they were having issues with them ringing up but that I would get the ad price. They didn't ring up correctly & the cashier wouldn't ring them in at the ad price even after the other key holder manager told her to manually put it in. So I demanded a refund for my purchases and left very upset & embarrassed due to holding up a long line.
I'm very disappointed with the service. I've never had an issue with the store til today.
I tried sending a picture of the ad but it won't load here.
