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...

I was receiving paid benefits and paid vacation for about 2 yrs. Then they were taken away from me. I was told I had to be management. I proved that wrong with the handbook. Then I was told the other employees were complaining. That should not affected me. I stopped receiving my paid benefits and paid vacations. I truly feel this was not right. I was told by the manager the district manager made her do it.

I've been harassed every since Marco went from lead sales associate position to assistant manager. He has let power and position go to his head. I have been unfairly treated on several occasions. Every time we work alone side by side he goes out the way to nag bother and harass me. I clocked in for work at 3pm one day last week he races to confront me say...

Date 11/09/2019 I was a bit distracted as I was talking to the cashier about the slightly cooler weather and people wearing overcoats. He said, you have just the one bag. I realized when I got home (5 miles away) that I was missing the first 8 items on the receipt (see attached). I called the store to tell them they still had half my items they said...

I go to shop at least once a week can't even get down some of the isles. They never have what I need on the shelfs and the stocking metal crates are all over the store packed with merchandise. It is frustrating. I know it is a small town store and other people I know quit shopping there because of this. Family dollar is accross the street and much easier to shop in without a mess.

Dollar General store appearance/merchandise accessibility

I am filing a complaint about the ongoing appearance and accessibility of merchandise. It doesn't matter what day if the week or time of the day, the store looks ransacked! Entire aisles are clocked with inventory carts. You are often unable to even get to the shelves or push a cart through the aisle. The location of the store is Coalton(Nokomis) IL.

As an active customer and a very frequent visitor I can't believe this stores heat. It doesn't exist and has not worked for well over a week. The employees are wearing heavy winter coats to work in. All of the corporate paper shuffle to get approval for repairs is absolutely ridiculous. Why does this happen at this store every ear and not taken care of. Shame on Dollar General for allowing this to happen.

Purchased a box of the Queen Anne Cordial cherries on the evening of November 7, 2019 at store #03604 in La Féria, Texas. When I went to open the box on Saturday, November 9, 2019, they were all melted and the contents of the cherries were all over the sealed containers. I went to return them the same day to the Mercedes Dollar General where I live, store...

I have been a customer at this location since they opened because it is close to my house. I have noticed that the store always looks dirty, there is never any room to move around and shop because there are containers and boxes covering the floor. It is hard to find any item I am looking for. The management staff is horrible to their employees and...

ghetto talking white girl made it abundantly clear she hates people. so I had proceeded to other line. Much nicer service. Why does DG hire psycho employees whom obviously hate general public, and very open about it. I should lawyer up after this disgusting experience. Please evaluate your employees before hiring them Me and my loved ones were disrespected in this store.

While my granddaughter & daughter in law were shopping in this store, Nov 7th, our great grand baby was walking with us, holding our hand. She temporarily let go of her mom's hand, & from behind, was knocked into a shelf by a dog. The dog came out of nowhere & obviously just wanted to play, but it's not acceptable for there to even be dogs inside, except of...
