This is a complaint about a Dollar General in Conway, South Carolina:

I am so tired of rude clerks! Can someone relate to this!? I like shopping at Dollar General, the prices are right and I go there often. But I have ruled out one location because of a rude clerk. I have been putting up with this person for a while, just kept thinking she was having a bad day or something. She has never said "hello" when I walk in, never says hello, how are you, did you find everything you need, etc, the usual polite things a clerk is supposed to say to a customer. I have always been polite to everyone, no matter what the situation, even if the other person is being an a__.

Yesterday I went there again, and there she is, having a friendly conversation with the customer in front of me, then when it gets to be my turn, she looks at me, I smile, and she sort of "jumps" like I have cooties or something, and said nothing to me, and I get the usual silent treatment. Then I wrote her a check, and she says (like a mean police officer) "I need to see your license". So, I showed it to her, thinking I was going to get arrested at any moment (I'm sick of that, too, every time I write a check at a store, I get that same treatment).

I don't know why this clerk doesn't like me, I have never been unfriendly to her, on the contrary, I have always tried to be nice! Why do clerks do this to people? I am sick to death of it, and I am tired of being treated rudely.

Look, people, if you don't want to work as a clerk, quit for God's sake, so all those other poor unsuspecting customer like me, don't have to put up with it.

A manager just banned a person and told him not ever to come back for no warning and discrimination.

I bought a box of these at the dollar general in hazard ky and my husband opened them and began eating them and said they tasted bad and they stink, smell like a menthol cigarette. I think these need to have a recall before they hurt someone!

When taking the product out of the package the cheese was extremely crumbly as if it were not made right. The taste of it was slightly different but tolerable. There was no way to even salvage a single piece to add to a cheeseburger like we planned. The parts of the cheese we could get unstuck from the paper we used in eggs instead. See pictures

Saw an employee smoking pot! Name was savannah and is an employee there! I was very disgusted by this and believe there should be reprocussions! Do stuff like that on your own time! Makes people not want to shop there to pay that employees paycheck! This happened at the Monroe iowa dollar general!

I purchased a bag of heartland farms puppy food today, and immediately went home to open the bag to find it moldy and smelling horrible! The bag is still in date, but I am taking it immediately back to the store to exchange it.

My car sustained damage from improperly kept parking lot and I am getting the run around at the moment, being hung up on, and even yelled at by store manager, corporate number I was given no one answers or calls back, store manager and regional manager will not cooperate... Currently my insurance is covering but need reimbursement.

There seems to be a constant problem in this Dollar General. The aisles are overcrowded, you cannot get down aisles because of the clutter and items not shelved and being precariously perched. The condition of the store is not safe due to the clutter and items waiting to be placed on shelves.

Today bought a loaf of bread and could not eat. Odor permeated the bread. Not the first time. Marshmellows for toasting were inedible, tasting like the store odor. The store I visited today on East Broadway in Mt. Vernon, IL, had extremely strong odor and my eyes burned. My clothes still reek. Will never be back. Was a frequent shopper.

The spend 20 receive up to 5.01 was added last week in my app. My purchase before tax was 20.25 but I did not receive the option to select the 5 off 5.01 in my app on 10/20/19. I have spoke to 3 different
customer support personnel with no resolution. Is there a way for me to get this resolved. I have called and my ticket # is [protected].

Why do they ask if you want your receipt if they already printed it, they should not ask that, they say to always take your receipt people get scammed now days not taking it.

I was overcharged, sign said on sale $5.85, register rang up $6.85. The manager said an employee made a mistake and they would not return my money or give me a credit. Additionally, there was a long line, one register open, 3 blocked isles full of products and the parking lot was trashed.

The manager publicly outed my 10 year old nephew by accusing him of stealing . She was loud and arrogant and very rude. All she had to do was ask the person he was with to please take him out of the store. The child is autistic and has behavior problems.

And like I said I'm pursuing this to a civil case cause she has done nothing but humiliated me and belittled me in every way and if a company allows this actions should be taken towards them too. I've tried to talk to Gabriel Garcia about this or as we refer to him as Gab and he has done nothing but push the situation under the rug like always and

I purchased a bunch of clothes and other things and the lady checked it out without letting me put my number in for the $5 coupon. I asked if she could take everything and redo it with my phone number and she said "there's nothing I can do about it now".

See above store is dirty, needs cleaning. Floor/tile needs to be replaced. Some of the shelving Is rusted, needs replacing. The check out belt at register has been broke for 2 years, inconvenience to customers. I am surprised the health department has not been contacted as the store sales food.
The store is an eye sore to the neighborhood!

I went into your store today and while shopping I recurved a call from someone who claimed to be with your corp.office they wanted me to pay a customer service fee of $75.00 for the repair, I think this is a scam. The cell number that registered on my phone was [protected].

It seems the local dollar General has hired a psychopathic abusive narcissist. Actually, he's an attempted murderer who thinks it's fun to torture women. We are all boycotting this store until this employee is removed. Store located at 3401 sw. Topeka Blvd in Topeka ks.

I live in seven points tx. The dollar general has chosen to put all the sail prices associated to the ad on an app in order to get sale prices. Yet the app will never open inside the store so therefore it can never be used just a way to rip the customer ofg
