Dollar General About your employee not doing their job.

I was in the Imperial Dollar General in Imperial when we was suppose to have masks on and this drunk girl started running her mouth to my daughter who was waiting for me to pay for my stuff. the girl was using foul language and calling my daughter on to fight. Now Your manager should have stopped them. But no she just stood there and watched her. I asked her to stop and she started on me. I am 72 years old and I ask the manger to stop them. she did nothing. I know you watched the tape and you could not see that when she stepped to my daughter the third time that she was bringing up her arm when my daughter attacked her . I am not defending my daughter but now you have banned her and the other girl started it. The guy that was waiting on us is deaf and didn't know what was going on. The manger should have told them both to leave. We have been going to your store for over 10 years and never had any trouble. I was a manger and I now that she should have stepped in and made them leave. I can't believe how that store is ran. You can't get through the store half the time because there are boxes every where. Get some one in there that can do their jobs. Your employees are always outside smoking when people are waiting in line to check out. We always have to go looking for someone to check us out. These is awful that you staff let a drunk attack a 72 year old lady and just stands there a watch. This went on for a good while. And now my daughter is banned from the store for sticking up for me. VERY VERY SAD that you run your stores like this. And so you know I will be putting this on facebook so all my family and friends know not to use your stores. They are not safe.

I was shopping at the Dollar General in Gulfport Mississippi at the store on Dedeaux Rd just before 9. I could hear the store clerk yelling at a customer (I was in the furthest isle away) that she/he can swipe their own card and they know how. She was rude and beligerant and embarrassed the customer and everyone around her. When I got to the counter I asked...

I visit The Dollar General Store #06905, to look for Disinfectant Items, didn't find nothing of those items. I bought a 12 Pk of Michelob Ultra beer, because I saw the sign that it was on sale for $14.00. When the cashier scan it, it came up as $14.95, I told her that the sign said $14.00, she said she could not change it, because the register didn't let...

I live in Amado and am very upset that the associates do not wear face masks. I asked and they said manager said they didn't have to. I am an elderly customer and worry greatly about not carrying about us your loyal customers. I go at least three times a week but am considering not going anymore and tell my friends as well. Even Wal-Mart associates wear them. Very disappointed.

As a healthcare worker, wearing a mask is expected of me. During this COVID19 outbreak, Dollar General has signs posted asking customers to wear a mask per NY's governor executive order. Which makes sense to me. Michelle, a DG employee and manager, chooses to wear her mask around her neck when dealing with delivery personnel as well as her staff and...

I live next door to the Dollar General on Shelby Road in Kings Mountain, NC. The people mowing the grass are not mowing next to my lot. I have asked them several times to mow their part of the yard. I have shown them the property line but they still do not mow the grass. If I have to keep paying someone I am going to have to send you a bill. Please help me with this issue.

The store on navarre road in richville (canton) ohio is a total joke. The store is dirty. The employees are dirty. I frequent here often because it's the closest go to. However, the racks inside are never put away. Shelves are truly always empty. You can't even get down the school section aisle as there is always totes or roll away bins in the way. The...

Dollar General Not enforcing masks

I was recently in 2 different Dollar General stores in my area and despite there being a sign on the door that masks are required in the store, there were customers in the store without masks on. When I asked the cashier, I was told that they can suggest masks but not enforce them being worn. I have a daughter who is immunosuppressed and an elderly mother who I shop for. I cannot risk their health because stores are not willing to follow the state mandated guidelines. I will no longer shop in ANY Dollar General stores until this policy is enforced for my/other shoppers safety. What is so difficult about no shoes, no shirt, no mask no service?

Dollar General No masks or gloves

I went to Dollar General this morning and saw 2 employees maskless and gloveless. I thought there was a store policy about this? They are usually good about this there, or have been for the last month or so. And you have customers not adhering to the 6' distancing, and the employees say nothing. I'm a diabetic and around alot of people who are diabetic, one recovering from cancer and brain surgery. Not feeling safe in your store.

Dollar General Cashier

I was at Bethel Springs Tn.Dollar general today and bought over 70 something items that were suppose to be 50% off. at least that's what the tags that were displayed on boxes said. But when I got home I started unpacking my items and started thinking that the price I paid at store was extremely high. And noticed that not a one of the items price was reduced by 50% . I would like to get a store credit or refund on that 50 % discount that was advertised for me to get. Because if not then I would consider that to be false advertisement. Ive tried over 20 times calling store and no one will answer phone.

They do not answer phone calls. Neither do they answer emails, except to say they received it and will soon answer. I am also tired of all the products that say "Unavailable" or " Out of Stock" or "Only Available in Store." It's worse since the Corona virus but was horrible before then, too. There are also items I used to buy online that now say they're only available in the store. I've been buying from them many years but If I find an alternative, I will switch - purely out of frustration. Oh, yes, I also am against their increasing shipping costs to us.
