For the store to be open for proper hours!!!
This store has been closed more weeks than open days. It will be open one day nothing stocked anywhere and boxes and crates all over. Cant even walk down an aisle. They will hang a closed sign on the door and be closed for weeks at a a time. Literally weeks. Everytime I walk down it will never be open and when the one chance it is open, nothing is ever...
Read full complaint and 1 commentmanager and a cashier at dollar general
My name is Debra and I am a regular customer at this particular Dollar General ,I seriously go into this store 4 to 7 times a day and one evening my car had broken down so i walked to the store and purchased several items and then realized that i was walking so i asked to leave the items in the store and get them the next morning but the manager said no and so i said that i would just sit them outside and walk back and get them later but the employ cashier said that she would put them in her car and bring them back the next day and i would get them from her then but when I came back the next day to get my things the cashier said she didnt know what happened to them, I said you dont know what happened to them and she said she didnt know if maybe she put them back on the shelf or what and that she really didnt remember and i said to her , your a grown woman but you dont remember if you put my stuff back on the shelf or not so i left a complaint for the manager Beth and 2 days later when she got back to work i walked back over there to store and she said that she looked at the monitors because the cashier said she left my things outside that night and on the monitor there was a guy that came by and snatched my things. I KNOW I HAD $3O DOLLARS WORTH OF MERCHADISE IN TE BAG AND ALSO THE RECIEPT AND THE REST OF MY CHANGE FROM THAT TRANSACTION but i do not believe in any way that she left my merchandise outside and i believe the manager Beth and the cashier are lying and they both know exactly what happened to it. I am very upset because i have already called and someone was suppose to get back with me from things store which i believe is a waste of time and would like someone of higher status to take care of this situation please. i want my merchandise and the rest of my money or i want them both demoted or take responsibility for their actions.

Truck Driver
Myself, my husband and my 2 toddlers were driving home on the Florida Turnpike today 09/06/2022 @ 10:50am. A Dollar General semi truck started to swerve into our lane and did not reposition himself back into his lane until we laid on our horn. We have a camper on top of our truck bed that we're towing which makes us very top heavy and easy to flip. If it wasn't for my husband swerving onto shoulder then the semi would have hit us. He had the nerve to get an attitude with us and start honking at us when we were the ones ran off the road because of his reckless driving. We were able to get the truck tag number.

Desired outcome: Employee reprimanded

Store #14822 today 08/31/2022 in Kingsland Ga needs to clean up the outside of this building. This location is in a very nice part of Laurel Island Country Club in Kingsland and is bringing down this part of town. There is no reason for weeds to be growing up in the shrubs and trash in the parking lot. The pictures below show what it looks like everyday for the last several months. Please help clean up this store.
Thanks,
Randy Mann
Desired outcome: Store cleaned up.
All maintenance including landscaping is done through DG corp. The manager will have to "put in a ticket" and hope DG corp. will hire a landscaping company to do the job.
Manager
Bashes all her employees to customers when she is there. She has nothing nice to say about her employees I have heard how she will take it out on them by cutting hours if she is mad at them. The Employees there are doing the best that they can with the amount of stuff I have seen them have to do. They are doing an excellent job. I have friends that go to the store to shop but if they see the managers car they will go to another store only because they dont want to listen to her bash everyone that works for her. But everytime I go which is usually mornings before I go to work I would say I stop at least 5 out of 7 days and she is hardly there working.
This is true! a lot of people are very upset with her actions she is a new/old store manager I believe her name is Belinda we live close by and have been a regular for a few years a lot of us town locals DG regulars won’t even step a foot in there anymore i do worry about the workers working under her . she is so terrible to them, bad mouthing each one and they work twice as hard as Anyone has ever seen her work. She doesn’t allow her employees having conversation with us the customer at all, one day I overheard her stressing it to one of her workers not to talk to the costumers. I thought costumer service was what it’s all about ?not with this woman a lot of us attend the church across the street every weekend and she has one person alone most of the day doing it all while trucks are coming in so she can have her personal day, and when it’s time for her to go she will run out the door I have witnessed that she won’t answer not one questions and ignores her employees it’s really very sad to watch this store turn upside down like this. I feel so bad for her employees they work so hard and are always so helpful, kindly and always smiling . it’s what kept us locals coming back! but a lot of us have seen and had enough they are losing great workers due to her terrible ways I honestly dread going in now a days . I would never and could never work for someone like this also glad I never will. However i feel for her employees working so hard and have to put up with it maybe I can be a voice for them, it’s a terrible thing to witness how she talks to them and works them. And I did go get her full name Belinda Miles , well it is the name she gave me when I asked her for it. So who really knows definitely Agree Something should be done DG!
All Edy’s Ice cream thawed
On August 26th, 4:10pm, someone was stocking the freezers when I went to get some ice cream. When I picked up the container it was completely soft, melted liquid. I asked if this was just unloaded and he said said yes. I went to a second Dollar General about 3 miles away. No one was unloading at the time but the ice cream container was also soft. I’ve thought the pizza has tasted off before and the toppings moved. Perhaps this is for the same reason.
Desired outcome: Answer to: Is this safe? Do the trucks have proper refrigeration/freezer for this climate?
Employee hours and pay
I am a manager one under the right hand person of the store manager. I am supposed to be full time but only getting 23 to 25 hours and also I'm only getting $11 dollar's a hour. I think it's not right when the store manager is giving herself over 50 hours a week and the one under her over 37 hours which getting paid over 16 dollar's an hour. And also there is a lot of scandalous thangs going on at my store like singling people out (like myself) with Avery thing, not getting both sides of story, talking crap that's not true about others, back stabbing, Not giving credit ware credit is do and etc and it goes on and on don't have space or finger power to tip it all.I am the most hardest, people friendly compliant work at this store what can I do to resolve this?
The head store manager is paid celery (not by the hour). Sounds like your manager got pressured into working more hours without the benefit of getting paid more.
ecoupons
I routinely shop Dollar General on Saturdays, I use the app download my coupon and go to the store. I did my routine as usual this morning however the store could not honor my ecoupons and made no apology for the problem.
I should have left the $94.65 worth of items I purchased but I didn't. I bought several items due to having coupons which I would not have purchased otherwise. After having this discussion with the manager, she told me there was nothing she could do, she even verified that the coupons we in my phone, and the coupons expired today.
There were several items that were mispriced, however I did not notice that problem until going over my receipt due to not getting my coupons honored.
I know I am just 1 person but this is my usual Saturday routine, which I may have to change..

Desired outcome: Look at my receipt and send coupon or gift card for the amount I am owed would show that you are willing to honor your product
Gift card issues / rude cashier
On 8/16/22 or 8/17/22 I purchased a $50 Visa gift card. The lady said the card was activated so I proceed to give as a gift. It wasn’t! After waiting the 7 days for visa to figure it out - I inquired twice to employees about the issue. Finally they say it wasn’t activated proper! The same employee that sold it refused to activate it, was beyond rude. To the...

Unfortunately I don’t know the truck number, But I just almost got ran off the road by one of your trucks. At 4:10 PM near the Loudon Tennessee exit. It is exit 72. I tried to look for a number on the truck but couldn’t find one. I was in the left lane, and as I was beside the truck it started coming over into my lane. I smashed in the horn, but he continue to pull over so I had to swerve onto the shoulder. Luckily there was a shoulder there, because a few yards in front of me was a bridge.
Desired outcome: I just want Dollar General to be aware that their truck drivers aren’t paying attention
Store associate
Today August 23 around 2:53 I entered the Dollar General on Warrior River Rd in Bessemer Al. I walked in and went to use the ladies room. The door said get key from associate. So I walked to cashier and asked could I please have the key for the ladies room to which he replied NO. I said sir you do realize I am a paying customer to which he replied it’s out of order. I then said there was no sign on the door to which he then replied I said NO! And I hold the keys. So of course I had taken about enough of his rudeness and replied thanks [censored] and I walked out. I will never shop at the store ever again if that’s the way I will be treated. I work in customer service and daily I feel like being ugly but I don’t I turn to them smile and ask how can I be of service. That young man was out of line. Have a great rest of your day
Desired outcome: At the very least he should be be reprimanded. Everyone needs their jobs but he should be reminded he works in customer service and when someone is polite you should mirror that. Even if they aren’t polite you should be.
Overcharging
I visited Dollar General in Sumiton, AL and purchased several items. After the items were totaled and paid for, I was asked if I wanted my receipt. After reviewing my receipt, I noticed that several items purchased were higher than advertised, and there was an item that was scanned twice! After bringing attention to the cashier, he left to get another associate to assist. The associate proceeded to tell me that it happened all the time. The reason provided was that the store was short staffed and they had no one to check prices. She wanted to know what items were wrong, I told her there were too many items for me to verify. I ended up getting a refund on all the items purchased. Moral of the story: Please check your receipts and verify the prices!
You did the right thing and so did they. A good result if I do say so. As an employee if an item is on sale and it's ringing up the regular price, we are supposed to give it to them at the sale price- its only good business.
Declined check
I went in to Dollar General today to purchase a few items and write a check for my purchase as a have done many times before. The clerk ran it through his machine a couple of times and said it was declined and he would have to get the manager. I have never bounced a check to Dollar General or anyone else in over 25 years of writing checks. The manager came in from outside, from what appeared to be using drugs in the parking lot and told me that I would have to pay with cash or leave the store and maybe I should put money in my account, there is over $5000, by the way.
Poor management
I have worked for this company for over a year and for the most part it was great. Until the store manager changed. The store manager I have now is rude and likes to write me up for things that are false and I can prove it. I have text messages from me and her that supports the fact that I’m right. And I can get the associate that was working with me that night to write an affidavit if needed. Plus I can get non(old) employees to write affidavits that say that she “had it out for me” because she treats me differently than that of other employees and it’s making the work environment hostile. I used to like going to work but not anymore. You can ask any customer that has ever walked in that store if I am ever rude or not busy or anything and I can guarantee you that answer will be no! I am the assistant manager but am treated like a nobody. And I’m tired of doing my job and hers because she’s not good at it! You can ask anybody! The store has went downhill as far as cleanliness and appearance since the manager change. You can clearly tell.
Desired outcome: I would like my manager to be put in her place and understand that she can lose her position as fast as she got it because she doesn’t know how to be an effective manager. Or I would like a face to face meeting with my dm.
dollar general risk management
Im 69 years old...fell in dollar general parking lot pothole and have bad sprain right ankle contusions on left and right legs...elbows and hand. I had trip to er and am so sore all over from the fall. had to cancel all appointments for the week and am off my feet for at least 7 days. I cannot reach anyone to file insurance or complaint. this is another example of how large corporations get away with everything in the US these days and have absolutely free reign to ignore a customer complainrt with little worry of any real retaliation. i think they hope to wear one down so youll just go away...well i WONT go away. that pothole needs fixed asap before someone older than me falls and breaks a hip or worse. shame on you dg for so little concern for your patrons.
Unqualified Boss
I am a current employee at store #20635 in Grundy, Virginia. The owner of the store is named Becky Lester, and I truly believe she isn't qualified to run the store.
As far as I'm aware, she hardly does any work for the store, yet will make the schedules to where she gets most of the hours while the rest of us barely get any. Recently, I've been informed that she has been talking bad behind my back for no reason, as I always try my best and do what I am supposed to do and then some. Because of this, she has only scheduled me one day a week despite me begging her for more hours before; this is not a livable wage and she knows that.
I even learned that she threatened to cut someone's hours if they refused to be a keyholder, which is a violation of Chapter 3, subsection 40. 1-27.3 for worker's protection within Virginia if I'm correct. This needs to be spread out more so hopefully this store can be saved and we get a better owner, along with better scheduling.
Desired outcome: I would like for Becky Lester to be replaced as owner of this store, as she has made it clear she can not handle it.
Cashiers & management store policy -- Shoppers can't have Backpacks or Totes in store!
Due to allegedly a large amount of theft in local stores in my town, the clerks & management workers are always telling me I must leave my backpack at front of store!
I don't give a rats hind end if it is store policy. My backpack has been compromised before & now stays with me at all times! I'm NOT A THIEF OR CRIMINAL EITHER! I use a backpack to get goods home after purchasing them. I shop there monthly... Now they won't get a friggin scrap of my money anymore cause the clerks are SO EFFING RUDE !
Cashier even dared to skip me in line then proceed to have her manager bully me after she did, about the NO Backpacks rule... Just finish my transaction please! I am BUYING 2 ITEMS, so why they wanna be such KARENS, huh!? For Crikeys sake... go back to Management School & learn some real customer service please
Desired outcome: For these Discriminatory Practices to be stopped! Or they are just itching for lawsuits
My store does the same thing. Backpacks and bags up front. That's the rules. Don't like it don't come in. Yes, you are allowed to put the bags behind the register.
Maybe you should try and understand their reasoning for leaving the backpack. You could ask them to put it behind the counter with cashier so it’s safe. Sad but true it’s the world we live in. Although you are honest many are not.
Employment
I was working for Dollar General from Saturday June 25th, 2022 to Friday July 22nd, 2022. I was only a part time sales associate for the Cuba, NY location. I had gotten called into work (asked to cover other employees shifts, which I agreed to every time) about four or five times. One of the times that I had covered someone else's shift was Thursday July...

Went shopping for sandwich meats and some items. Store was a mess and started down the isle. Told a women in the floor i had to squeeze by her. I pushed an empty milk container away from us and she jumped up screaming she was trying to stock the shelves. I then was embarrassed and said I was trying to shop. Sounded like she mumbled she couldn't do her job because you people. I pushed my cart aside and left the Aisle. She yelled and said for me to put that damn meat up. I yelled back saying you said you where working you put it up. I went looking for a manager only to discover she was it.
Desired outcome: change of management and apology. Need some kind of outcome to satisfy how I was treated by your employee
Good luck getting that they are all rude! The higher up in the company the ruder they get!
