Dollar General manager needed

The Dollar General In Alba Texas store # 12379... This store needs a manager. the shelves are always empty with carts loaded down with boxes but yet employees never seem to get it put away. You cant get down isles because of boxes and carts loaded with boxes. Every time I go in with a list of 10 items, I am lucky if I get 2 or 3 items. You can never find anyone to help you, wait in line because employee's cant be found. The store really needs a manager that can actually manage a store. Does this store even have a manager, cause every time I ask for one, they aren't in. I m not usually someone that complains but this is really getting ridiculous, fairly new store yet looks like one that is many years old, junk everywhere not properly setup. I really hope you take this in to consideration and rally get a manager in this store that can actually handle it. I can tell you about at least 25 family members and friends and this is a small town, that have complained as well, when are you going to do something about it?

Dollar General cashier

While cashing out at store #00948 I had a heavy case of water and a 22 pound bah of cat food. The cashier refused to scan it with the hand scanner. She said it didn't weigh enough to use the hand scanner. I am disabled and I normally shop at this particular store for my convenience and ease of getting in and out of the store and convenience at the register. If this is the treatment that I will be receiving then I will shop elsewhere. I found it very unprofessional

omfg. please don’t make this a race thing. a lot of dollar generals have announcements like that. and it was not from the cashier.. it was from iVerify. that is the security system DG uses. they have announcements like that from time to time. the phone could’ve been an HHT (hand held terminal) used for work purposes. you didn’t give much detail. and PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR EMPLOYEES TO GO TO THE BACK TO GET YOU SOMETHING. if it’s not on the shelve it’s either out of stock. or it’s on the bottom of a rolltainer. you are being incredibly rude by turning this into a “racist” event due to your assumptions.

Dollar General conditions at the lindale ga store

Numerous occasions visiting the store. The associates are helpful and friendly, however the store is a wreck. They open after 8:00 a.m. while the parking lot fills up with customers waiting to shop. Upon opening, the floors are dirty, trash everywhere from the previous day. Isles are filled with carts of inventory. You can't shop those isles. Empty shelves.

Dollar General employees attitudes

I have never been one to file complaints. I am tired of people having poor work ethic and bad attitudes. It is not all about service either. They have to many stacks and piles of product in the isles. You usually have to wait in line in the main isle where customers come in and out and move out of the way all the time. There are some people I don't want to be that close to. We have had to stand in line way too many times for way too long for one employee to check everyone out while the others stand around and talk. Then some have attitude when asked to open another register. I am tired of smiling and being nice so I told one of the young ladies that this is at least the 4th time we have had to stand in line while y'all stand around and talk and left my basket at the counter that was at least a $50 sale. In a small community it is hard to say I will not shop here anymore. But until this changes I will make other arrangements.

Dollar General customer satisfaction

I was in your store the other day and I believe the number was 9626. It's always clean so that a plus and the amount and variety of products is usually better than the family dollar closest to me. I asked the lady cashier who I believe to be the manager where a product was located and she told me and it was there. So later on I'm walking through the store and I hear her say to another person, "yeah I know all these little tricks these kids try to pull. I don't know where she went but I thought I saw her over there." Being the only person in the store at the time who appeared to be around a teenagers age, I felt the comment was about me. I'm not a kid or thief nor do I appreciate her assumption of me. I used to work as a cashier so I know about theft and how to deal with it and that definitely wasn't it. Thw gentleman who rang me out was nice and always is. Its just always something silly with one of the lady employees.

Dollar General employees and cleanliness

Walked into the Effort PA store and before I entered I was extremely shocked that there were used condoms on the ground, oil cans, heroin needles, I mean what kind of corporate establishment doesn't clean this up! I feel bad for some of the remaining good staff that has been there it's not their responsibility to clean that up. Second off, the aisles were completely trashed, customers leaving their own personal trash all over, the store smelled like marijuana in every aisle, and this is ok for a store? Upon my checking out I couldn't believe the attitude that was being thrown around. Both women at the register had no smile I wasn't greeted, the one girl had black hair and glasses and dressed like she was about to go to a club and was more interested in what looked like your venders, I actually over heard her giving her number out to people, while the long line was building up. The woman who checked me out had a name tag I believe her name was Sharon, no smile, kept looking down, and we'll I thought upon hiring people cleanliness and person hygiene was valued. Well not here, because she had holes in her shirt, she smelled like animal urine and some strange odor from her mouth. I know where I won't be shopping anymore.

Dollar General the store

The store in whigham georgia is a disaster all the time. There are totes of stuff all around there are rolltainers throughout the store everyday of the week. The bathrooms are blocked by totes and pilled up crap. This store needs a manager that can keep the store in good shopping condition. The aisles are always a disaster and empty. There seems to be no organization and some of the workers seem to be trying really hard but it seems to never get any better.

Dollar General unethical behavior

My sister recently worked at the dollar general in tuscumbia al... Well I had already been told that the manager brandy ragan had been bad mouthing my sister so I went in and purchased a few things and she proceeds to start telling me my sister broke into her house and calling her names like meth head and saying she was going to "beat her [censored]". So I wanted to see if I was the only one she would say it to and boy was I wrong 4 more people went in and she said the same things to them and some... So basically I do not appreciate her bad mouthing my sister I have been a manager I know that you can not do that but since she wants to talk about my sister you should go ahead and drug test her too u may be surprised oh and if she misses work any its because shes in jail because we are filing charges for slander and im telling everyone I know not to go in that store.

Dollar General concerns about dollar general employee dumping personal trash in dumpster

On Tuesday 1 May 2018 I observed a DG Employee dumping her personal trash in the dumpster behind the store she got out the trunk of her car, Here is why this is not a good thing, if other people see someone driving up to the dumpster dumping their personal trash they will feel like they can do the same thing and this will create a devastating effect because people will start dumping tires, construction debris, yard waste, etc, and you guys will have a serious situation, just thought I pass that info on to you guys

Dollar General clearance priced items

On today, May 2, 2018 at 10:27 am, I was shopping in store number 06368 when I saw the clearance sign that Bobbie Brooks apparel was now $1.00 for red triangle, green star and grey star clothing. I found two items that I want to purchase. One was a red long sleeved sweater dress and the other was a white t-shirt with pink writing on the front. Both items were green star but upon getting to the register they rung up full price. A lead associate was called to the register and she void both items and called the manager up front to discuss the problem. They both went over to the area to view the price signage. I waited for about fifteen minutes for them to come back with a solution. But they went back to the floor to continue putting out freight. Finally the sales associate went to see what was taking so long and remind them that I was still waiting for the items. They had gone back to putting freight on the shelves. They both came back up front, and the manager said that they could not override the price. But she could not give me an explanation as to why there was a clearance price sign with those descriptions but the items could not be sold. They were also the only items left on the shelves with those color stars. I felt like customer satisfaction was not even offered to me.

Dollar General cigarettes

Our local DG store is awesome and we love everyone who works there . However we went in this morning and much to our surprise their cigarettes had jumped up $4.00 in price. I didn't know that until they were already scanned. So I went ahead and got them. The cashier had told me they cost more and I said that's fine, I thought 10 or 20 cents more not 4.00. With that being said I can guarantee you that your cigarette sales will go way down. This is a small town and people will go down the road to get them. Just right down the road $5.18 a pack.
