I love the Dollar General stores. What I would like to complain about is the heat in the stores. It’s way too warm inside the store I was in today. One of my items purchased today was a jar if pickles.

They are on the shelf until opened. The jar I bought today was so warm (70 degrees with a food thermometer) that the pickles felt limp and soggy. The heat can’t be good for other food products as well. The manager there said corporate controls the temp in every store.

So that is why this complaint here. I hope in future this can change. Soft bendable pickles are gross!

Hi, The woman who worked in the store named Kia was very friendly and nice the complaint is about the products at the store on Ashville HWY Spartanburg,SC. I dont know how I could prove things that I threw away were freezer burnt and that the others I still have, have been thawed and frozen again into a block so I am scared to feed it to my family.

I understand shortages as well but I had to open the boxes pull them out and find each product then I spent about $50 on frozen foods and am unable to eat any of them. Is it possible to receive money back or store credits for this issue?

Good morning, just to let you know that I am very disappointed with the supervisor and the people who work there can never make my purchases online, they always cancel them when I try to use coupons, they never apply to me and the cashier does not know anything about it.

that should train their employees more thanks The store that I have close by is in Randolph WI and it is the one I don't like to go because they are very inexperienced. Gracias

Well i have been trying to get back to work and i would love to work back at the dollar store and i applied and the manager now said i had to write a letter explaining why i had to quite so i did that and still says they can't hire me..

211 West Hartford Ponca City Oklahoma, Store #22100 Store closes at 10 PM I went in at 9:50pm I was told on entry that the store was closing in 2 minutes. There were 3 employess in the store. I was getting my items and another employee came to me to tell me that the store was closing.

I got the items that I went in for and was at the register by 5 minutes till 10. When I got to the register the manager was at the door with it Locked and did not let others in and unlocked it to let a customer ahead of me out.

I was told Again at the register that the store closes at 5 till 10 at the Latest. I said well as far as I knew, the store closes at 10. I purchased my items and was refused a receipt with a dirty look and the manager unlocked the door to let me out.

TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!!! Obviously, DG doesn’t care about Southwest MN! Our town is fed up with the antics going on!! We were so excited for DG to come to our small town! Now the residents are sooo frustrated that we are willing to drive to Worthington, MN to do their shopping!!

Reasons: NEVER know when the store is open!! Sometimes closed for 2 days at a time. Some days are just a few hours! Unbelievable!! Employees say there is NOT enough help. Well, why would you work for a company that pays $10 or $11 an hour?

Can get a job at McDonald’s for $18. Has to be 18 years old! Give me a break — almost all businesses are 16 or under! 00 discount on your receipt! WHAT??? Expect managers to work for a salary at 40 hours weekly and end up working 50/60 hours and NOT getting paid for the extra…

This is NOT a complaint, I would like to give some VERY positive feedback about the employees at 281 Barbour st, Hartford CT. The store is in a very underprivileged, high crime area. I frequent Dollar Generals around the state while I'm at work and happen to stop into the Barbour st location frequently.

All the employees their have treated me with respect and attended to any shopping needs I've had, two of your casheirs have stood out time and time again though. Jackie and Mrs. B, Mrs B especially have gone above and beyond. Mrs.

B has a reputation in the area with customers as a wonderful person with a beautiful smile she ALWAYS wears and an attitude of positivity rarely found. Whoever does the hiring for the store truly deserves mentioning because I've had great experiences in that…

The dollar general on millsgap road Fletcher, NC is open but the doors are locked and no one is here. If I call the store number it says the user is busy. I've been waiting for 20 minutes no one has come to open the store.

Also they had a broken squished gallon of Milos sweet tea busted and leaking right outside their door for 3 months and not a single employee picked it up even though they have to walk past it and see it every day

My credit card was charge 3 times by an inexperienced cashier. The young lady that was there with him was helpful and she did call her manager regarding the transaction going back to my card. She was told that I had to come back the next day at 10a to get resolved.

This make no sense that no manager able to give me back my funds and the store took the funds the same day. I do work full-time and my work day began at 6:30a and have to take off just to meet soemone there to get my money back.

I shop at this dg all the time sometimes twice a day and I don't think a any store should be operated without a manger with experience and able to handle minor incidents.

I needed to return a carton of cigarettes, with one pack missing that I took out, due to the clerk not choosing the right size cigarettes when I bought them and another carton for my wife this past Friday. The older lady who was at the Sopchoppy , Fl.

store told me in in no uncertain terms tha t they Do Not take cigarettes back! All I wanted to do is exchange them for 9 packs of the correct size cigarettes. I understand company policy, but that lady was very nasty and I will go elsewhere with my business. Capt. Randy Craft Sopchoppy, FL.

I just got back from Dollar General in Watertown, W 53094. I did the self check out, I bought over $30 worth of products, and I saved a few dollars in digital coupons. 94, I asked about the $5 off of 25?

Because it didn't come off. The guy said I had to go thru a cashier. So I packed it all up and moved. It still came up to the same price. He couldn't figure out how to get it off.

Meanwhile an older woman next to me in the self check out said to him that the checkout wasn't working. He verbally went off on her, told her that he didn't need people to be rude to a white man?

must be a white supremacist to her and continued on. Then he could figure out how to get my five dollars off, and that I was holding the line up over just a few dollars. I said to him well that ladybwasnt rude but he…

Would you want me to spend my money somewhere else? What kind of customer service is that?

I have been recently let go from a DG store in Savannah Ga because I was apart of a team that went by the rules and procedures of DG then I was moved to a different location and the Manager is a sexist person against women and women who know more than he does so I was transferred to his store to be the assistant manager of the store and

help him but he didn’t have any experience or clue to what he was doing nothing was being done the correct way then I was fired by him because I made a complaint about him being disrespectful and discriminative towards me and I had proof of it I reached out many times to district manager and to corporate office and have gotten no where so now I’m looking for a attorney to sue the dollar general for this and

Your employees at the Mackinaw Illinois store would not allow me to use the restroom. " I left my items in the cart and left the store. I will not under any circumstances ever return to that store. I did go down the road to the Minier Illinois store where they very politely allowed me to use their restroom.

I would like to hear corporate's explanation for this.

Mickey, a manager of Yachats, Oregon 97498. Came up to me in the store, and yelled at me, to pick on someone my own size. I have never had a problem with anyone in that store, or any other. It was extremely rude, and embarrassing.

I will never go back to any dollar general store ever. d from past assault by a man, it really triggered that by being aggressive to me. I do not deserve to be treated like that ever. I an telling all of my family, and friends to never ship there. Ever.

10554 Northfield Rd Northfield, OH 44067-1246 I was at your store this evening and there were 3 people in front of me and I believe 2 or 3 behind me. I believe something happened to one of the registers. A lady walked up the out lane right to the self checkout.

She then asked one lady if she was waiting for self checkout, I said you walked infront of this line. One of the 2 girls behind the counter actually defended her by saying "most people don't wait for self checkout".

So your employee believes it is ok for someone to bypass 6 or 7 people In line. I am discussed with this store, carts are always outside, the store is very cluttered, the self checkout is always a mess, recipes all over the floor.

This evening there were 1 girls working behind the counter and only 1 was attempting to…

I have placed several pick up orders placed online at the Kings Church Rd, Taylorsville Kentucky, only to have them canceled at time of pick up. Then I started using the Waterford Dollar General store, placed one order, gentleman was happy to pull it while we waited.

Then placed another order with same store only to have them cancel at time of pickup. Is this a regular thing with your stores? I am disabled and disappointed in the service these last few orders. I like to order from here but looks as if someone isn’t wanting to pull orders for pickups.

Maybe time to find another store. But I would like an explanation for why all my orders were cancelled? Please and thank you Angela Shouse 3834 Lilly Pike Taylorsville Ky 40071 502-504-0342

I went to the Dollar General on Monday in Grifton NC. I've had bad customer service in the past and seldom go in the store here anymore. I like Dollar General and go to other stores out if town. I bought several things including some greeting cards.

I waited at the register for at least five minutes until the clerk showed up. She was on her phone with a hoodie on. At first I thought she was talking to me. I had the cards turned so she could easily scan them but she pulled the first one away from the envelope and threw them both in the bag.

I politely asked her not to bend the envelopes and she ignored me and did the same to all the cards. Nobody I know in town likes to go to the store and I feel someone should know how bad it is.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I am very disappointed with the big sale that went on March3-5. Nothing was marked, nor put out. And didn’t ring up the 50% off the markdown price I paid 43 dollars and it should have been more than half that price.

But I paid and went out shaking my head. They said due to short staff they did t have time to do anything. But still the things I bought on Friday should have been half the price. And usually I get an email for receipt and I did not get one.

I did t even go to the blue star toy event because they have been closing at 6 pm. And I knew nothing was going to be out nor on any shelves because they take it off before we can buy it for the sale price. Richmond turnpike Virginia.

The Aubrey location needs to be closed. The store is an absolute mess, people who are working there have the worst attitudes and the sale signs they put up are not accurate. I shopped at the dollar general in Aubrey Texas March 8th around 12:45 and it was chaos.

I chose items that were on a clearance table yet the prices were not honored. An African American employee came up to the front and ripped the sign off the table and said that was over. They didn’t honor it even though it was still up while people were shopping.

I will write to the city as well. To treat customers the way they did and not honor sales is not the way to do business.

I went to my local Dollar General Store located at 158 MO-162 Portageville MO on March 7,2023 to drop off a package for FedEx. There where a total of three workers in the front of the store when I walked in.

One young lady was stocking food items on the shelves and the other two where scanning a pallet cart of Gatorade and where conversating to each other. When I walked in there was no one at the registers or the counter so I said "excuse me, where do packages go for FedEx"?

The lady that was scanning the Gatorade in said very rudely "i have to scan it" and continued scanning items on the cart so I didn't know if she was talking to me or if she was talking to the guy she was working with. I stood there holding the item i needed to ship off for FedEx.

Dollar general in Stilwell Oklahoma closes at all hours of the day and night. They're rarely ever consistent I pull up at 15 till 10:00 and the doors are locked the night before I came here at 7:30 and the store was closed with the sign on the door that said closed at 6:30.

It's a real inconvenience to a small town like I live in when there isn't much else around. Not to mention the store is always filthy dirty the floors are always disgusting the shelves are never stocked. I wouldn't recommend Dollar general to anybody!!!!!!

I visited this store in Hermitage, AR, and simply asked the cashier (who was not wearing a name badge) if she'd make sure the red bull rang up correctly because there's always a problem with the correct price not being wrung up. 4oz cans 3 for $5.

She rang them up along with other items and I asked if the price was correct. She said the price would correct at the end. So I paid for my items. 75. I got in my car and checked the receipt.

So i went back in the store. She had a terribly bad attitude towards me but i waited patiently while she took her time to finish with her customer. I explained that there was a problem. I don't know if she cannot count or is plain daft but she could not understand what I was saying.

She gets the regiser keys and removes $1 from the register. The manager…
