Coupon not taken
I Shopped today and had an e-coupon for $5.00 off an order of 25.00. The coupon was attached to my phone number.
When the cashier cashed me out, my coupon did not register. She tried to use the paper one and it also wouldn't work.

Apple gift cards already being used
I went into a small town dollar general in Hempstead Texas on November 24th anround 1 pm and bought an apple giftcard loaded 250$ on it and by the time I got home to use it. It had already been redeemed for the full amount I filed a claim with apple and they can’t do anything because they already used the full amount.everyone is denying accountability and saying there is nothing they can do.file a claim with apple. This has happened twice. They won’t call me answer my emails or reimburse me for it. Worse experience in my life and I won’t shop at dollar general ever again. They have a teenager behind the counter without any management to train her or anything. No one else was there. No wonder.
Claimed loss: 250$ November 24th and 120$ October 31st
Desired outcome: I just would like this to be resolved and reimbursed in some kind of way I am a hard working person and I can’t just lose the $. When it wasn’t my fault that the card was used. This is my livelihood.
Unprofessional district manager
Today, October 31, 2023, My wife and I were in store 17338 Lerona, WV. The store Manager (we believe her name is Chastity) was being yelled at by who we found out later was the district manager. First let me explain. This store has looked amazing since the young lady Chastity has taken over. The store is clean and impactful. This District manager has NO...

Hello, Ref, Dollar General Store 8403 | 120-194 North Pine Street, Langhorne, PA, 19047-2141
The store hours indicate open "Every day 8:00 am - 9:00 pm." with a clear sign on the front door. I visited this store frequently and three times this month the store was locked in the middle of the day. Sunday Oct 1st, 1:00 pm (Sunday 2:00 pm 10/29/23 last visit), lights on and the sign on the door. The website indicates the same hours of operation. It's annoying to waste time going there and knowing they doors might be locked. Several customers were lined up at the door and turned away due to the doors locked. Like I mentioned above, third time in 1- month the doors are locked, lights on and the hours of operation indicate the store is open.

Clover valley distilled water
I purchased 2 gallons of this (Clover Valley)"distilled" water to make colloidal silver for medicinal use in Sept this year. When the colloidal silver was tested it showed unusual results and was disposed of. When the water in the jug was tested it showed high levels of iron, copper and nitrates! The other bottle was unopened and had been stored in a dark, cool place. It also tested the same. The nitrates introduced to colloidal silver can produce a very dangerous combination! The copper in the water alone could be very bad for someone like my daughter who has a health issue of high copper in her blood already The $1.75 per gallon I paid is not the issue. Purity IS ! You need to check your quality control and notify FDA if you have produced an entire batch of NON distilled water product. The amount of contaminants could indicate well water ! That would be fraud in my opinion.
Desired outcome: I would like a response on actions plan to remedy this product issue, an apology for time and efforts wasted using bad product + loss of trust .
Shopping carts in middle of parking lot. Checkout with cashier is almost inaccessible.
Went to the melvindale store 10-23-23 and found the shopping carts are now in the middle of the parking lot. I'm handicapped so now I have to walk quite a bit farther to get a shopping cart in order to shop here. Then you go inside and the only checkout with a cashier is almost inaccessible due to the area being blocked in by merchandise and stock waiting...
Read full review of Dollar GeneralClover valley gallon whole dill pickles
I bought a 1 gallon jar, the label was falling off. I opened the seal which was also half way off and the contents smelled horrible. I tried to fork out a couple pickles and they were mushy and literally fell off the fork. I couldn't bare the smell and figured this must be a rotten batch so threw them out. I could still smell the rottenness throughout the house so I fished the jar from the trash to take to the outside trash. Really sucked!
Desired outcome: Refund
Inept employees
I stopped in the one in Altus at 2724 N Main St. This place to start with looks like a dump. Then the one employee named Tony who thinks he is e Elvis or something, has the personality of a tree stump! Asked him about what they were hiring for and I quote "I guess it is on the sign look at it" As far as the look of the store can't even get down the isle...

I'm complaining about the store at Shoals, In. 47581. The year you put the store in, you put up a PCV fence, which sections fell over the first 6 months. You've made no attempt to put it back up. Now, almost totally down, and the store is where people come into our town, and across from our school, see this, and it makes us look like a red-neck town. If it...

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?
staff
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...

Read full review of Dollar GeneralUnprofessional 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.

These two are all over people comments even Commenting on someone PTSD . Shut the hell up .😱🤡

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...

Read full review of Dollar GeneralNetspend 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
