on 9-23-19, I went to this DG store.(store # 15804).. I had received a coupon for 5.03 from Starkist Tuna in the mail from a settlement received from a lawsuit filed against them. The cashier there at first tried to say that the coupon was for more that what I had purchased..which was not the case. He kept saying it stated to buy 3 products. I showed him...

In the last 2 weeks I have gone to the Dollar General to purchase items and get to the register to pay and they tell you that the check machine is broken would it not be nice for the store to post a notice on the front door that the check machine is down but no I get to the register the first time they ring me up and I go to pay and at that time is when I...

At around 8 p.m., I needed to make a quick stop in to pick up some household items. When I walked through the doors it felt and sounded like I just entered the club. The music was blaring profane and sexually explicit filled rap music. Don't get me wrong, I like rap and I like going to the club every now and then. But I don't want the club coming to my...

I was told I could only do one shopping trip per day. I can understand this with the same digital coupons but I was using my account twice in once day for seperate items, not different accounts.

These stores are impossible to shop in and I really like the dollar store there are always big metal things with tons of boxes blocking all the merchandise don't they realize that shoppers are not able to move these things so losing a lot of money very stupid. They really need to hire a night crew to stack shelves. I know employees are doing this and is not...

I went to this store for the first time, and could not even walk or push a basket in there due to merchandise, carts, cut up boxes, and boxes in the floor, down each aisle. This is a hazard to customers, not to mention frustrating. I tripped over a box that was cut up on the floor. This is pitiful. The only employees I seen were in an office laughing. I...

Smh, this store always is without products on shelves. Then when you ask can u open the boxes that box the isle she says. Uh do you work here? I took a picture of her smoking and my granddaughter said Nana that lady is rude she is smoking when she should be working.

Dollar General condition of the store

On 9/20/19 I was shopping at the Dollar General in Northampton PA. I have never seen a store in such horrible condition. The store floors were filthy, there were carts wtih product on them in every single isle and the shelves were empty. When I approached one of the employees they indicated that they don't have enough help to stock the shelves. This store should be condemed by the FDA. It should not be open to the public. Someone is going to trip over all the stuff that was on the store floor. The only section of the store that was shoppable was the Vendor stocked Potatoe chip section .

Dollar general no longer should hire people with bad attitude problems @ that location, the young lady with the tattoo on her arm, who wears a ponytail&braids. The location is close to my job so I shop there daily. And she always in a very foul rude mood. Please take the matter up with the employee. She should always treat people how she would wanted to be...

Dollar General items never stocked

I'm tired of going to buy items that are on sale and nothing is ever stocked. I always check product availability before going and it will tell me it's in stock, get there and nothing! I even check while standing in front of whatever I'm looking for and in stock means it's not there until the day after the sale is over and it magically appears. Not to mention rude manager who makes up rules and won't honor sale prices.

Dollar General inept, rude cashier/manager: fire her now

Items rang up wrong. She would not adjust. Said I was being rude for wanting the correct price, which was posted on the sign. This was at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 15. She should be fired and I should be compensated for this upsetting retail experience. Meanwhile, her low-life friend said she's had enough of my mouth. I said, "This is great: I'm rude because I want the correct price!" Skanks should not be allowed to loiter and distract the already unqualified cashier, then be rude to customers. RSVP

Dollar General workers

I went to store #14617 at 8:00 pm and all the good you put outside was all ready in the store blocking all the isle where I could not even get down the Isle that I wanted items from. I know the workers has to bring them in at night however it should not be as early as it was. If it was there at 8:00 pm all ready how much earlier was it actually put in the store blocking the isles. The weather was clear and sunny all this day so it is not due to the rain. The store is not kept up clean as other Dollar General Stores. Thank You and I hope this problem can be resolved.

Look I spend a small fortune at this store monthly. Someone that knows how a business needs to operate needs to address many problems with this store. Many times I go there several of the employees are just standing around and talking when many of the shelves are unstocked. One of the coolers up front for drinks has been out of service for months. Now the...

The oakdale california location is disgustingly dirty, cluttered, and unorganized. The employees are either rude or untrained. The manager doesnt care. There can be 8 people in line and one checker. The manager will just walk on by and never offer to help. There is so much unstocked inventory that you cannot walk down the isles. Ive tried about once a month...

Dollar General jamond thomas

Mr. Thomas at Dollar general in wetumpka Alabama. Cursed me and my family out because we wanted change back. And he was calling me [censored]es. And just totally disrespected me and my kids out. And said what you wanna do . Like he wanted to fight me and my kids. He act like he is racist. I will never step foot at that Dollar general again. It's a shame that my kids feel unsafe when we go to a public place to shop. I will not tolerate his behavior.

The manager of this particular Dollar General Store is a racist. She berates the black employees in front of customers and if the customers complain about it, she blames said black employees. She is driving business away from this store, and I'm not sure how many complaints it will take for the corporate office to do something about it. I have NEVER in my...
