This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The shelves are always empty. The store STILL stinks. The prices advertised are not what is charged. Products still in bins that are blocking the aisles. There can be 4 employees working but only one register open. Other employees are outside smoking or on their phones. Also, there is always a drunk man outside of the store yelling and asking everyone for...

Dollar General service of store manager

I witnessed your store manager at rhe camden Michigan store heavily berate and employee to where the girl was in tears asking her to please stop speaking to her that way. Then watched your store employee physically touch said emploee. A few customers witnessed this and stepped in causing niki to ban people for trying to help that poor girl. She then fired the girl callin her really terrible names and said she would ruin her. The girl went to the break room to get her personal belongings while niki followed screaming "get the [censored] out of my store u stupid [censored]' the girl was crying and trying to call her husband for a ride home ans niki was in her face screaming get the [censored] out now while this poor girl was tryinf to get her purse and coat and then made her stand at the road and not safely in the parking lot. If this is how dollar general treats human beings i will be making sure that store is petitioned! That girl was a good night manager and was a very sweet girl she did not in no way deserve the way she was treated. After the girl was gone niki came back into the store and continued to tell every customer who came through rhat she fired the stupid [censored]. It was very unprofessional and illegal the way she was screaming in the girls face and pushin her out of the building. If nothing is done i will ho to the news station to let everyone know how employees who work 40 hours weeks are treated like trash. Your store manager has ran off 4 employees in 6 months! I will never shop there again and camden michigan is a small tight community and i happen to be sister in law with its mayor. This will not go away until it is resolved! Fix your store and that woman needs to apologize to fhe poor woman she fired today. Feburary 10 2020

2/10/20 I went to the dollar store in ivor (general mahone blvd). I was going to buy toilet paper, a calendar and a can of lysol! I waited in line for 15-20 min just to check out 3 items! Well not quite that long because I walked out! That is ridiculous to wait that long and this is not the first time! This dollar store is way too busy to have only one...

The outside sidewalk and parking lot of this store has always been extremely dirty. Trash lying all around. I have lived in this area for four years. It has always been this way. This is not in a "bad" part of town. Other Dollar Generals in this town do not present in this manner. It is just filthy!!

Two days ago I was given my write up for a ncns. It wasn't intentional, I had my teeth out and was on medication. I completely slept through my shift... Well, a few week leading up to my ncns, another employee had ncns... No write up!! And I verified with said employee before filing this.. Why am I the only one being wrote up for this and no one else is?! You can't be unfair like that..

I live across the street and have had numerous complaints about the store in albany, louisiana. I have to say... I went in yesterday, and the store was once again, stocked and clean. I can't say for how long this has been going on since I did decide at some point to steer clear of the store but in recent weeks, the store seems very organized. The one thing...

Dollar General service and safety

At 4 am Jan 27 single car in parking lot, small town we look out for each other . There was one person in store stocking. This is the same person that is always working and stocking there. I didn't talk to this lady that night but later asked why she was there so late she replied to me my job. How can a store manager not be there or have someone with her to help? Do y'all as a company not care about employees or their safety? Just let managers treat them any way she wants ? This is a sad way to conduct business.

Dollar General I was followed to my car and threatened by a dollar general employee and now I am banned

After refusing to give refund or exchange item with receipt at first dollar general, I went to second and received an exchange. I went to first dollar general showed cashier my receipt and simply said, :you are misunderstanding your return policy:. Walked to my auto, got in and cashier came outside and said, you better be glad im on the clock or I would see you. I stopped my car and asked if he was threatening me and he retreated into the store. I immediately made a police report. They watched the video. My wife returned to the dollar general a couple of days later and was told she was banned. I called katina, the regional manager and she told me neither my wife or I was banned. I returned to the store on 02/05/2020 and was told I was banned. I got katina on the phone and she lied to me and my wife and had me banned when she said I was not on the phone to mmy self. I am 56 yr old army vet who is pissed at this situation. If I could find a lawyer iwill sue the hell out of dg store nr 13069 848 s. 16th ave laurel, ms. They are liars and dont deserve to serve our community on account of the situation I have listened to. The cashier is a liar and the general manager katina is a liar.

For a second time within 6 months I have gone into the local Dollar General store and found that it is dirty and messy with product that should be on the shelves stacked on carts in the aisles. It is next to impossible to shop in the store because the shelves of product are inaccessible and new product is not on the shelves. The store is dirty - floor...

On January 23, 2020 I shopped at DG I had to wait to check out because the 2 employees were STANDING IN THE DOORWAY smoking. The smoke came thru the store. I am highly allergic to any kind of smoke. I had to wait until the smell of cigarettes was outside. I'm sure there's a rule about smoking & where to go. Nobody wants to come into a store with people...

Every time I come to my DG the same van is parked in a prime parking spot for customers. This is rude. They are here all day, they need to park in other locations. It seems that this has to be longer for your corporation to care. It is simple move employee cars from the front door parking locations! Maybe the employees could pick some trash up out of the disgusting parking lot while they are at it.

It saddens me to see the store I once worked in many years ago in such horrific shape. It's truly disgusting. I only worked there a few months before being called out to lead a team to purge stock rooms and stores of old merchandise (alpha team). Then was given my own store to manage. I did do for 3 years and won awards for top sales, reduced shrink, and...

Dollar General worker

I am a regular in youratore at 801 zion Church Rd, and I asked about the Manager Kevin, I was told " I got him fired finally" by Tina. This is absolutely absurd to hear this from a so called manager. Losing Kevin from that store will hurtypu more than you know. After tonight I will never shop there again. He was the only person that was making that store look better, and was a hard worker and very nice.
