Dollar General heartland chicken and sweet potato dog treats

Dollar General:
These are my dogs fav treats however I'm about to discontinue purchasing them if all I get in a bag is 2 treats, I've weighed them and unless I add the bag to the scale I'm not getting the weight I'm paying for! Also lately the last 9 bags purchased they are burnt and she wouldn't eat them not that I blame her, but mommas pocket feels like it's being picked when what I pay for is not the accurate amount nor are they edible!

I go in this store probably 4 times a week. I've noticed that it the cleanliness of the store is going downhill.!! They usually only have I employee at register and a manager working. Occasionally one might be on the floor. It seems the manager is always in the office. So, if I need help finding something I have to go to register to ask. There are box's on...

I shopped at your store 12/16/2019 about 530 pm. Cashier ''deon''. Was the only cashier and you need to be very proud of this man, the store was busy. And he handled service great. I'm for one don't like shopping at this location. But had too. And mr deon made my night. You need to have more workers like him. Thank you for a great service with this employee.

I have been a long time shopper at this particular Dollar General and in the past had always enjoyed my shopping experience. I the last 3-4 months there has been a very noticeable change to the upkeep of the store. Every time I have visited this location it is impossible to walk down the aisles or find products on the shelves due to aisles being cluttered...

Dollar General the general store in havana, il

Hello, I do not want to complain about any product, but Dollar
General in Havana, Illinois not participating in the Christmas punch card. Today I asked the cashier to punch my card for the number of dollars spent there. She said the district manager would not allow it. Dollar General wanted to be part of the Havana, Illinois community and have people spend money there, but have failed to participant in the local punch card. Other merchants such as Ace, Farm and Home, County Market, and others do show their support by punching the Havana card. I do not have to shop at Dollar General in Havana but when they do not show support for the punch card tradition, I question why do I go there? Dollar General is a real Scrooge not to support this community tradition. If you care about the community of Havana, Illinois you might reconsider supporting the punch and become a true merchant member in the commmunity as other merchants do. Sincerely Linda Oest

After years of noticing unkempt store, I've decided to make a complaint. For weeks the shelves were not stocked and empty as well as boxes and boxes of inventory blocking the aisles, I grew frustrated. I could not get to the items that I wanted to purchase because the aisles were being blocked. I noted this for several weeks and finally said something to...

Dollar General employees

I was a frequent shopper at the Wells Dollar General up until last week, when I found out from a reliable anonymous source that some store employees have been spreading rumors and gossip about me through out the town of Wells. I didn't get a whole lot of information but this has made me uncomfortable with going to this store and even shopping at other places in the city of Wells. I am not sure who is responsible for the defamation of my character, but I suspect that it is with a few different employees in the store. I also believe that the employees are female based on the nature of the gossip and defamation. I also find it unprofessional that store clerks would engage in such behavior. I will never shop at the Dollar General in Wells again. I may shop at Dollar General in other cities, since the problems only are from the one in Wells, MN. I would ask that you either adopt a policy on customer privacy and employee conduct or hold a meeting to remind the employees of how to treat customers. If this behavior continues, others may stop shopping there too and I do not recommend anyone shop there from here on out. Sorry I had to bring the issue to your attention in this way, but a customer shouldn't feel disliked and defamed just because some female employees don't like him.

Dollar General the whole store

They never have anything in stock. And the wait time on what they do have isn't worth it. You will be standing there 10-15 min for one item. The employees are rude. I started going across town to a different dollar general completely. The location is great and badly needed. But they don't show any type of interest about their products, customers, or store at all. They haven't been there too long and won't be if they keep this type of behavior up.

Today I waited at least 20 minutes to check out. There were four other employees in the store. One person was on the register. I was 3rd in line and there were at least nine people behind me. The manager walked out of the front office behind the register, looked at the line and then walked to the back of the store. (We all were hoping he was getting someone...

This company is one of the absolute worst. I picked out my purchases and made my way to the register. There were two people ahead of me. There was a particularly chatty customer being checked out and an extremely long line formed within five to seven minutes. As per usual, only one register was open, but the cashier wasn't the problem. She was moving at an...

Don't advertise this feature as convenient and time saving when you are treated like a shoplifter and then when I refused to take out my phone manager becomes verbally abusive and throws my purchased items at me and tells me to leave. I don't believe that anyone deserves to be treated like this. Also I noticed while scanning thru other complaints a common...
