Dollar General
reviews and complaints

this is about the milk i bought from dollar general located in imperial pa.
i bought 8 gallons of milk in 2 consecutive weeks and they all were spoiled. I verified it after boiling them and they immediately started making milk curdles with cery bad smell. I informed Store manager and she asked me to contact customer relations and even after continuous follow up with customer relations for last 4-5 days my issue not resolved. I dont have all the receipts but i have images in my phone. Now i want your immediate attention as it is highly disappointing and irritating now. I want either refund or gift card of $30.

The Dollar General Store in San Saba, TX. is a fire hazard/lawsuit waiting to happen. This store is in such disarray and clutter, it is impossible to get down some of the isles. My 3 year old, went to reach for a toy in between stacked milk crates full of clutter and was almost plummeted by falling boxes. The produce freezers today, which contained food for sale, were not cold at all. I wanted to buy frozen pizza for a quick dinner and the pizza inside the freezers were complete mush. Cockroaches and other insects are continuously found on shelves and throughout the store. There was a storm about a week ago and the floor was filthy with debris and dirty shoe prints from traffic in and out of the store, today I went inside and the same mess and filth was still caked all over the floor. This problem is not due to seasonal stocking of shelves, this is due to filth and laziness, this store has been in this condition for well over a year. Something needs to be done before someone ends up hurt, with food poisoning, and out of shear respect for customers.

There was a man with very disruptive behaviour who called himself a manager between 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ( I checked out at 3:10 p.m.) He was hollering to the only cashier available about his work schedule while the line was backed up with over 7 customers. Supposedly he was not currently working. He made violent remarks to the cashier he was going to hit her. Was playing with a football smacking it back and forth with his hands at the time. His rude remarks caught myself and another customer wondering if we were in any danger or the cashier as she seemed to be professional no matter what. He seemed to be unstable . This was a very disturbing and scary shopping experience to say the least. After I got to the back of the store he came back with the football and asked if I was finding everything said something about football was something he should have done. I still feel I should have called the police but thought why wasn't the cashier doing anything but she had so many customers which I am sure you can verify that by the receipt and time frame this was all going on!

I walked into the store on Broadway in Depew, NY at 8:56. I held the door for a woman who I expected to hear thank you from but instead she says you better hurry they're trying to close. So I walk in & I felt accosted immediately. This was the greeting "you have 3 minutes, no actually 2, no you have 1" I stayed for 60 seconds and left. It was 8:58.

First the two worker an older lady maybe in her 65 to 75 and and Guy very tall. They both work on monday the 17. Very rude. The lady start to said that dollar general dont takw internet coupon. Then she start to say in front of other customer. The store was pack. When she start to say. That my coupon are copys and fake. Both coupons had the same barcode numbers. ... The bar codes at the bottom of the coupon- where it is scanned at the register- are ALWAYS the same. Just like the bar code on EVERY Original Cheez-it box is exactly the same- so will their coupons. you are using more than one "like" coupon, your UPC codes WILL all be the same. They are coded to work for each product and dollar amount. However, there are numbers on them that will change with each one printed. This is how they insure that they are not getting ones that are copied.. Here is where you can find those numbers:

Printed from Coupons.com: There is a small barcode located under the expiration date. There is a different number for each one printed.
Printed from Smart Source: On the left side there is a pin number. There is a different pin number for each one printed. Update: Some of the ones printed from Smart Source may have the pin number located around the side.

did you know that each printable coupon prints with your IP computer address imbedded in it? It is in the wording around the coupon that borders it. SO YOUR CASHIER DONT KNOW THEY OWN COUPON POLICY. FOR SOME ONE TO SCREAM AT ME IN FRONT OF OTHER CUSTOMER AND TELL ME MY COUPON ARE FAKE. REALLY. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW THEY JOB. OR HOW TO READ A COUPON IN TOP OF THAT. MAYBE I SHOULD START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. HOW YALL PEOPLE MAKE CUSTOMER FELL AND HOW YALL ACCUSED CUSTOMER OF MAKEING FAKE COUPON.
I Hope the store manager will teach the cashier the proper way to handle this type of situation in the future. I HOPE I NEVER AGAIN GET THIS RUDE STORE EMPLOYEE AGAIN. SOME ONE NEEDS TO TEACH THEM HOW TO READ COUPONS AND HOW TO TALK TO CUSTOMER. WHAT THEY FORGET TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE PAYCHECK THEY RECEIVE IS BC OF THE CUSTOMER THAT SHOP AND SPENT THEY MONEY AT DOLLAR GENERAL. WITH OUT CUSTOMERS THEY WONT HAVE A JOB OR A PAYCHECK.

I went on Monday to the Dollar General nearest me on Groomtown Road in Greensboro and preordered and paid for balloons for my daughter's baby shower. The clerk told me they were out of plain balloons (I wanted 2 bouquets: a baby boy and 4 solids to go with each.) She suggested I buy a package from the shelves. I bought 2 and paid to have them all blown up; I do not remember for certain, but I believe they were 2 packages of 6 each. We agreed I would pick them up at noon today (Friday). When I arrived, they told me they were not blown up because I did not provide ribbon (No one mentioned ribbon when I purchased.). I bought the ribbon & 45 minutes later they handed me the blown up balloons loose together. Before I could buckle up my seat belt and leave the parking lot, 4 popped in the car. I returned to the store to complain. Their response: "What do you want to do; they left the store." I live 4 miles away; by the time I got home, only 5 of the solids had not popped. I will be taking what survives an hour from now to the shower in Durham. I have shopped in that store for the last 7 1/2 years. No more!

I went into the Dollar General located by my house which by the way I never go there because it's farther away from Family Dollar. I just went to get juice and cigarettes I first walked in in the employee named Jack looked extremely irritated that I even came in the store when I went to the register to purchase my items I asked for cigarettes and he didn't say a wordHe just got the keys acting irritated and got my cigarettes out then Threw them in my bag that was on the bag holder with my other items so when he asked for my ID after he scanned the cigarettes and put them in the bag I kind of tossed it out him like he threw my cigarettes In my bag. He proceeded to say excuse me ma'am can you not do that I said excuse me this is the worst customer service ever I work in retail and you threw my cigarettes in the bag he said I toss them in the bag That's my job if you don't like it then don't shop here. So after that experience I won't ever shop there again he look like he was just extremely unhappy and made me feel really uncomfortable for asking for any assistance just wanted to Inform you guys have route up in employee you have working for you. This was at the dollar general located on us1 in cocoa Florida not sure of the address.

I bought 2 pairs of Jeans two days ago. My husband put on a pair went to work and this is what they look like after only having them on and hour.. I paid 12.95 for each of these pair of jeans and only a able to wear for less than an hour... I think dollar gwneral should at least make sure the stuff they sell are somewhat durable.. I will no longer buy work jeans from Dollar General..

For 12 years I have purchased all my pet food and products for 12 cats and 1 dog at the dollar store named below but as I am retired I need to restrict as many of my items as possible to when they go on sale and then purchase several weeks worth at a time and buy the 9-Lives when they are reduced to 3/1.00. I was glad to see 2 sale signs that were appropriately placed under the rows of cans as they have been for all these years so I bought 60 cans at I knew would be $20 and with the other 2 items would be in the mid-30's and knew when the 2 20's I had laid down weren't enough that something was wrong so when I saw I had been charged .45 I went back to the store and pointed this out to the clerk. We went back to the pet food and sure enough the sale tags should have been placed under the Forever brand which she promptly did, apologized and pretty much end of story. I wasn't about to hold up the line returning them even though had they been correctly marked I would have waited. I did see that under the large 3/1.00 numbers were small Forever letters so the only person at fault was whoever misplaced the sign. The $7 didn't matter as much as that I felt I was owed more than an apology as I have spent - and saved - a lot of money in that store over the years.
I suppose you can do with this as you wish and likely not a lot will change either way but I will always feel as if I was taken advantage of even if by mistake.
Thank you for your time.

No longer have shopping options in Tomahawk Wi.
so it is a shame that the store will not keep the shelves stocked, keep the rolltainers out of the aisles so a customer can get through with their carts without having to move them.
Please appreciate the increase of business and accommodate the community. Or consider selling to a company that will.
The store is un kept and appears dirty. Shopping there is necessary for a lot of us, but not a pleasant
experience. realize help is hard to obtain, but getting someone in there to keep up with the demand is needed.

Store #11869 Bloomington Springs, TN.
Same old story at this store. Lots of products that you go there to purchase are out of stock. Then when you get to the register there is always a line of people and only one cash register open or no one up there so you have to yell for someone to come out of the office or step outside to get one of the smoking employees to wait on you. Either way you have to wait. I have seen several people just lay their items down and leave.

Went to buy a few things, she rang my stuff up and she had the most hateful attitude I've ever seen. She doesn't need to he working in the public with that kind of attitude towards customers. Everytime I go down to that store, she is extremely rude and never has anything nice to say to anyone.

Declining writing checks for no reason on two different occasions. Have had no problem paying with checks anywhere but at Dollar General.Try to make an excellent sale for them to be denied at the register this is not good customer service.Had to go get money and come back had to scan everything allover then check my money to make it wasn't counterfeit this happened twice once in May and again in June it's ridiculous I had plenty of money in the bank plus cash reserve there's no reason this should be allowed to happen to customers period.
