Customer Service I went to The Dollar General located at 496 25th Ave in Bellwood Illinois today 7/29/2020 at 4:45pm. I stopped there after working a 16 hour day to pick up a few household items. I don't like to go there because the customer service is so bad and I wish I had not. I got my items and was standing in line. Once the cashier had finished ...

The new store manager (Ms. Cash) at the Berkshire Dr in Clinton, MS treat her employees like crap. Ms. Cash is rule and on drugs (meth and marijuana). I myself witnessed the verbal abuse toward her employees. Ms. Cash customer services are awful. As a customer for many years at this location. I never saw anything like this before she's became manager. It'...

I do not expect, nor will I tolerate, being bullied by DG employee 'Karen' because I can not wear a mask due to medical issues. That is, however, what happened at DG store #01954 in Carlisle, Ohio at 20:57 on 07/25/2020. Karen told me I had to have a mask on to shop in the store. I explained that I can not wear a mask due to medical issues. She told me that...

This is the second time the employee has yelled at me "We close in 5 minutes." Or "We're closed" as I'm approaching the register to check out. I have been in customer service for over 6 years & have always been taught to treat people the OPPOSITE of how people are treated there. It's the only store open in our town at 9 PM & I didn't get off until 8 PM. I...

I visited the Dollar General Market in White House, TN 37188 on 7/25/2020 and saw the sign on the entrance doors that clearly states Mask REQUIRED. However, I saw many customers who were not wearing a face mask. Will you please advise as to how DG plans on enforcing the use of requires face masks? Until they do, I won't be shopping at Dollar General. Thank you.

Dollar General Coupons

I visit store#18665 located at 4078 N.C. Hwy 56 E Louisburg, NC 27549 very frequently since it's convenient for me and every time I try to use a digital coupon with them they don't work and they always have the same excuse"we don't know why they won't work". I am not the only customer that has had this issue, so I don't know why you can't fix the problem or allow the manager to do an override for the coupons. I visited the store again today and have 2 coupons which I downloaded and added to my coupons on the DG app and when I got to the register and signed in it wouldn't take the coupons off and no one could figure out why not how to fix it. $5.00 may not seem like a lot to some people but it is to me, so instead of paying $14.59 I was charged $19.59. If I could've waited for the items I needed until tomorrow and shopped somewhere else I would have, but I couldn't. Since this store has opened there has been nothing but problems with their digital coupons, so over time I estimate that I could have saved approximately $50 dollars with the coupons had they worked properly. It's also frustrating you spend time sorting through them, adding them on your app only to get to the register to find out they still don't work after they said they fixed the problem. I have been to other DG stores and never had any issues using my coupons but this store is ridiculous and it's inconvenient for me to have to go to another store just to be able to use them. On multiple occasions I have left my items at the register and went to Family Dollar to get what I needed because the coupons didn't work. It would be nice if someone can figure out what's going on at this store and fix the problem, otherwise today will be my last visit to this store and I will take my business elsewhere.

First of all, I have been a front line worker for the last 30 years and I want you to know that I never leave an online complaint about a store that I shop from, I just stop going there. However this isn't about me, this is about the safety of my family and the families of a small community. I'm not going to leave you a letter here, but I just thought you...

July 21, 2020... I shop at the waxahachie, texas store located on hyw 77... Where many employees have come and went. The two that have been there for at least two years do not wear face covering. There is a notice at entrance that all customers that enter must wear masks yet the woman that does the stocking never wear a mask. For that reason I always wear...

I have been a regular customer at store 17038, Lake Blvd., Redding, CA. I would like to continue being a regular customer but we have a statewide mask mandate for COVID-19 and, even though the store does have it posted to wear masks, almost none of the employees wear them. A few days ago, one employee did have one on but around her chin, not covering mouth or nose. Thank you.

Today July 18, 2020 I went to a local Dollar General to pick up a few items with my daughter. Upon entering the store I noticed 2 employees sitting behind the register without the use of a face covering. I asked if they were required to wear them. The both replied "NOPE we don't have to wear them if we don't want to NOPE". On July 10, 2020 Governor Tate...

The staff is rude to each other and customers. Vulgar and lewd music is played overhead in the store. This mostly occurs after the manager is gone for the day. I'm sure no one goes to the DG to hear [censored] every 30 seconds. The parking lot is a hang out for drug users. The outside is used as a urinal. Trash is strewn all over the parking lot and around building.

I was in Dollar General store 13648 in Valley Falls KS at 7:00 PM today and the cashier was not wearing a face covering as required by Kansas State Executive Order. When I inquired about the situation the clerk advised that she kept forgetting to put it on. That seemed to be a weak excuse as state law requires wearing one at all times, with very few...
