Dollar General front door

I shop at this location at least 5 to 6 times a week maybe more just a estimate . Over the past three to four months the front door have not worked properly. The workers in the store have fans going behide the counter trying to stay cool do to the air going out the door. I have ask the manager Mr. Brown how long will it be before they repair the front door. He replied, " they are working on it not exactly sure when it will be repaired. I spoke with him around the first week in June. The door was repaired for a couple of days now it's down again. Dollar general need to pick up the past as to protecting their customers and employees. That door can save a customer are employee life alerting them when it's open. We are living in a dangerous world today have the door wide open the entire day is not the best thing for the employees without a security on duty. You have someone wife, daughter, son, and husband in your hand their safety should be first priority. A concern customer.

Dollar General coupons

I checked out around 7:45p.m. on Saturday, July 20. I tried using my five dollars off of a 25 dollar purchase coupon and didn't receive it. The cashier told me they don't work after seven now. There is nowhere in the fine print that says this. I have been couponing there for months, and I was upset over the recent change of not being able to use my five dollars off coupon with my two dollar off coupons. I go out of my way to buy diapers from dollar general, but I'm considering taking my business elsewhere. Reconsider this change.

The new manager, she is a old( well appears to be an old lady), she's always grumpy and frowning. I have been living in this area for over seven years and she is by far the worst. This is my second incident with this rude lady. The first incident she told my daughter not to be running in the store, she's 6 years old, that was not her place to say anything...

Dollar General store

I don't understand why the President or CEO Todd Vasos doesn't review all the complaints listed for Dollar General. I am an employee there (to be former employee) and am displeased with how the corporate office expects us to work with limited hours and stock shelves and clean the store. I am not the "Energizer Bunny" with excelled speed. Are the "Employee & Customer Complaints" every addressed? Don't tell me that you have one person (if that) answering complaints. It's time for corporate to come to each store and work just a few hours to see how everything works.

Isn’t that the truth, the CEO or corporate headquarters really should be ashamed of themselves to produce a company like this. Listen all companies want to make money but if you don’t put the mdse up on the shelves or keep it clean and neat no one wants to shop there . Real simple train your employees and get a grew that cleans, and grooms your company

Dollar General empty shelves

DG is the only place in our small town to buy necessities. It's my understanding they get a truck two times a week, yet the shelves are always empty. Especially common items. Either they don't keep shelves stocked or management does a poor job ordering. It used to be I'd rather shop at DG but it's so frustrating I'm ready to drive the 10 miles to go to a store that can keep their shelves stocked. The next time I'm there I will take pictures and post on here

I stopped shopping at the DOLLAR GENERAL stores, yes, reason, shelves are always empty. The other reason, ONE CHECKER with long lines...! I am wondering, because of all the odd places Dollar General has built those stores in, are they going to close them down as what they call a grocery store, reopen later on as what, what is really going on?

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

You can never get through the isles they are always blocked, the shelves are always messy and understocked. The long lines with only 2 registers, usually only one being ran, causes such a long wait time. The cashiers are very rude and never seem to want to help fix the problems. Walking in or around you can barely get around in that store, everyone is on...

Every time I go into this location there are boxes piled in the aisles even blocking them at times. Boxes even block the fire exits. Nothing is ever stocked on the shelves yet the employees are standing around. You have to find an employee to be able to purchase anything and they are usually outside smoking and flirting with men they have come visit them...

Dollar General rude customer service

I was i n the Dollar General store on Governor's Drive, near I565 Huntsville, AL . I work near and decided that the cheapest way for me to eat lunch every day is to go there. I went in and got my snacks and went to the counter. After waiting a few minutes(have no idea what the cashier was doing), I realized I left my wallet in my car. So I left the items on the counter and went to my car. As I left the store I heard "Don't come back" This happened on July 16, 2019, at about 11:20 am. I went to go back in the store and she would not let me back in. I did nothing wrong and she is right about one thing. I am not coming back not until I hear back and know somebody above her has heard my complaint. She has no business working in customer service. I did nothing wrong. You may contact me [protected]@gmail.com. I will never buy anything at one of your stores until I know my complaint has been heard.

I visited this location a few weeks ago and the manager was so rude. She was hateful to her employees and to the customers. There were also vendors in the store that day making their deliveries and she was the exact same with them. She needs to realize that without customers coming into her store and vendors delivering products she would not even have a...

I bought lightbulbs. She told me the total was $12.99. I gave her $20. She gave me $3.01 in change as she said $7.01. She did not offer my receipt. She stole $5.00 from me. I didn't realize she stole from me until I got home. It's not worth going back, but you should watch out for her. It happened about 5:15 pm 07/15/2019. 103 Bulldog Blvd, Borger Texas, 79007

Dollar General customer service and behavior

I have been in this Dollar General many times and every single time the service is worse.
1. Every employee was sitting outside, not even a single greeting.
2.I was in the store 10 minutes before anyone even came in and of course they went back out.
3. I had to stand and wait at the check out for someone to come in.
4. Kids behind the register and all over the store, kid belong to an employee!
IM NEVER GOING BACK TO DOLLAR GENERAL AGAIN UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED

This item was sitting in $5.00 slot but when rang up was $8.50. This happens to me alot. Very aggravated. Is this new thing of getting customers to buy? No happy at all. Why must a customer have to pay for the mistake? The item wasn't like throwed in there, it was sitting upright to the front. I would understand if the item was deliberately throwed in that place but it was there neatly.

The clerk was talking on her cell phone while ringing up the purchases of the customer in front of me. Then she continued to talk on the phone when ringing up my purchases. Also, she did not tell me how much my purchases cost. When I told her I had to guess she became angry, slapped the receipt onto the counter and pointed at it. She also wiped her nose...

I purchased the 16 count blueberry and strawberry pop tarts at the dollar general on noble ave in williston, fl. I opened a package only to find it burnt and what looks like mold. There were several like this. I am not sure what is wrong with them but for safety reasons I refused to allow my children to eat them.
