She ripped my item out of my hands and scanned it? I was really shocked. She forgot or didn't bother to give me a receipt. I also didn't have enough money for an item. She didn't want to put it back.. Ok I can out it back. Please dont shop at this location! I can shop elsewhere and be treated with some small amount of decency. The weird thing she was older, so you would think She would at least pretend to be nice😀

this store has been a poorly managed location for years-it got cleaned up, shelves kept stocked, organized for a few months this past spring, 2019-now it has declined to utter chaos, nothing on the shelves, aisles completely blocked by unpacked boxes precariously stacked over head height, floors littered by all manner of objects-disaster waiting to happen-i...

Dollar General manager not treated right

Went in to store and asked about job openings . They told me to come back the room was occupied. He took me to the side and ask my availability. Told me to come back the next day, they said he was at a different store. Then went and called him . Then went back again to see him when he told me . He (Jimmy) said let's go outside to talk, went outside he told me hours that would work for me He then told me he would send me hiring package to fill out . I waited a day did not receive them so I went back there again and he said he would put it through today and never got it . Very upset really needed this job.

On September 28, 2019 on or about 09:30 am I went into Dollar General to purchase a few items. I am complaining about the store manager allowing the employees to play the music at such high volume. The music is played so loud you cannot here yourself think. In order to communicate with the cashier you must use the form mouth to ear. As a customer I am...

I was in your Dollar General store #07852 on 9/29/19. Your manager I believe her name is Shelly. She is a very rude person she told my Daughter that she can't come in unless her parents are with her and I was and there was slot of kids in there without parents. I don't know if she just likes certain natives or what her problem is but better change her attitude or your loose business

I was in the dollar general store #07852 on 100 east third street in Gordon Nebraska on September 29 2019 at 2 pm and my two grandkids went to get a drink of water and Shelly told them that they have to come in with a adult if she is going to tell my grandkids that then she had better say that to all kids that comes in I don't care if they are white or native! My. Grandkids are both and this negative report will stop some of the business of both nationalities. I am getting really tired of her treatment of my grandkids!

Dollar General Manager messed up causing my bank to charge me 35 dollars

After finishing my shopping in the store, I informed the cashier (who was desira (the manager of the fort white fl store) that I was using food stamp card, cash, and my debt card. I asked her what it is I was to use first. She said food stamps, we did that portion, she then said I needed to do debt card next. I told her only 17.00 was to be taken off my card and repeated it twice. She said ok she was ready and for me to put my card in the machine (had the chip) I did so, when the transaction was done she looks at me and says it took the full amount due which was 44 bucks and asked if that was a problem. I in tears said yes its a damn problem my bank is going to charge me 35.00 cause of what you did. She said sorry but there is nothing she can do about it.in tears I left the store and had to tell my husband she just screwed me out of 35 bucks.
We are on disability. We get 1 set amount a month my husband is on oxygen, we cant afford a $35.00 charge we now have to pay. She was pissed off because the scanner gun wasnt working and due to her negligence im out of money. She owes me that 35.00 which her or the store can send check, or I will take a 35.00 dg gift card, but however you all firgure it out she owes meeeeee.

Since new management took over this store is dirty. The rolling baskets that needs stocked have been sitting in isles for weeks. There is no room for wheelchairs and barely any room for baskets. When a customer makes a remark about not being able to get down a isle the manager replies" grab a box and help then" either close the store until its fully stocked...

Dollar General unethical behavior-breaking the law

Dollar General # 18734
3795 Summer St
Mims, FL 32754

The manager at this store is who I am complaining about. Everyday, she goes out to her car, ON THE CLOCK, and smokes dope in the daytime between 8 am to 11 am. I have seen her personally on the days I have went to Dollar General. She has been doing this since the store has opened. Her name is Samantha Parsons. We have enough problems with drugs in this area. Pretty bad when a Manager is breaking the law. If something isn't done and she continues to work there, which I think she needs fired, I will be contacting Law Enforcement. By the way she drive a reddish or maroon car and parks in front on far right side of lot.

Dollar General no stock, or room to move

I live in Lisbon Maine and the Dollar general store is located less than a half a mile away. Since the day the opened which was no longer than 2 years ago they have had countless of managers and employees come and go. This is the most unorganized deprived so I've literally ever seen. Every time I need to run in for a thing or two or a list of a bunch of items I walk out with half of what I intended on getting because it's never stocked. I absolutely love that this store is right next to home and I can get pretty much anything besides produce and meat but it's frustrating that the inventory is less than par. And there's stock in every isle that you can't move around no matter the time of day.
To be honest I work in customer service and have for 20 years, and this will be the first complaint I've ever made to Corp... of any store. I have resorted to going to the Lewiston location on Lisbon St instead of the store next to my house. What does that say? Thank you for your time

Dollar General digital coupons

So I stop at this dollar store to pick up a few items that I needed and had downloaded from the digital coupon on my phone I go into the store one of the products was tide flings The other was gain dryer sheets they had stickers underneath I made sure they had an expired made sure I got the right size then when I got up there to check out and I had downloaded the digital coupons mind you he didn't take the right amount off of the Tids and didn't take any off of the gain and I told the lady what the sign said and that I had downloaded these and she acted like she didn't believe me so we walked back there and she saw the signs and said OK you're right but there's nothing I can do about it I can't give it to you for that price if it's not gonna ring up that price. Needless to say I know it's only a few dollars but the digital coupons are supposed to ring up exactly what they say when downloaded I've done it several times I never had that problem! I've never been in a store they didn't honor the signs and you could tell they did not want to help at all so I put my stuff back and I left I will not ever go back there again not even sure if I'm going to shop at the dollar store beyond that you don't honor your digital coupons that is false advertisement and no store should be run that way!

Dollar General unwilling to accept responsibility

After they had a shopping cart hit a customer's car and she brought it to my shop to be repaired they informed us that they would not pay for part of the repair that the vehicle manufacturer states must be performed or "current or future owners and occupant's may be exposed to unnecessary risk." When I pointed this out to Mike V. at their corporate headquarters he told me that he didn't care and if the customer wants that part of the repair done she will have to pay for it herself. I guess he knows more about repairing vehicles than both the repair shops and the manufacturer or he is just assuming the woman whose vehicle was damaged will not take the time and effort to hire an attorney and just pay for the additional repair herself.
