Dollar General the clerk at store 09768 was coughing

1st: The clerk at Store 09768 was coughing, & indicated she didn't feel good. During this pandemic time, she needs checked by a Dr. It seems there is no protection for the workers or protecting customers. They are on the front line. 2nd: the eggs were priced 1.65 earlier in the week, on Saturday morning I went to buy more eggs for my mom & the price tag was gone, I figured the price was still 1.65 but the receipt showed 3.65! Outrageous! The eggs should've been marked .

Dollar General $5 digital coupon didn't show up at register

I put the '$5 off $25' digital coupon in 'my coupons' on my DG app, but it didn't show up at the register when my daughter went to check out. She entered our phone number like we always do. Because I wasn't there with the app, the associate was unable to override it so we were not able to save the $5 :(

Date: 04/11/2020

Thank you,
Lori Boston

I purchased a microfiber twist mop and the price said $11.00 w/ a $2.00 discount. when I checked out at the register I was charged $12.00 w/ a $2.00 discount.

Dollar Generals in Jonesboro Arkansas are not following social distancing of 6ft apart in the lines. People were getting right up to me in the lines. Even when people are coming in the doors their coming up to the line next to people instead of going over the right direction to shop. Something needs done! For people to stay safer DG needs to take this matter seriously before the governor has to step in.

Dollar General Rudeness

I went to the tilton illionis store to get my at&t card refilled on a refill card I had. When I went to put the number on the card into my phone, it said the number already used. The phone company said thier was supposed to be a pin number on the reciept. There wasnt. So I went back into the store and they said to use the pin # on card. I told them I didnt work since it was already used. I then asked for a refund and the manger said no. Then I said your screwing me out of my money. I live on a fixed income. We got into a argument about it. He told me to leave and its people like me that a spreading coronas virius. I have a bad heart. But he was very very rude to me in front of other custemers. I did get mad myself but he shouldnt been so rude. Im not going back to that store. But I am still going back to other stores. It was about 2:00 in the afternoon on april 3rd. My email is [protected]@gmail.com. Thank you. My name is john kinney

I visit the Dollar General store in Brandon, MS frequently & I attempted to go there tonight, but the 2 workers decided to close the store early. I arrived 5 min prior to the posted closing time (8:55pm) & they said they were already closed & wouldn't let me in. I very disappointed as I needed some medicine For my child before they closed & clearly had enough time!

Every time I go in Dollar general on Sutherland Avenue the employee are always following me around the store. Like some one is stealing. They act like the cameras don't work.
