Dollar General Scented toilet paper, aka, toxic

Im allergic to perfumes, unfortunately most do not know how toxic they are and how many diseases they cause. Ive never seen toilet paper that is scented and bought by mistake, the manager treated me like scum for wanting to exchange it for a non scented version, she claimed it was her policy to refuse a return with out a receipt, This is not true,. Corp rules are store credit or exchange and i wanted to exchange it. Her and the lady working there were viscously mean for no reason. Acting like i harmed them because i wanted to exchange something. It was so toxic to be near them i left the store and the paper behind, as i left they yelled at me to get my tissue, so i reminded them, im allergic, i dont want it. Its not about the money, im allergic. So i left the items there and made a report to corporate. They simply were evil, there is no reason to treat someone like this and make up fake return policies just to be rude?

Desired outcome: Would like my non scented toilet paper or store credit just as the dollar general returns guarantee speaks of.

We were going to this one, out of our way because the Riverview dr store is rough, hard to walk through because racks and racks of products are left in almost all the hallways not stocked and just everywhere. Really, its a bit much when the store is small already, we will return here and shop here now. The other store is nicer but wow, talk about mean as a snake, the manager was simply overly mean for no reason. Lazy i guess, just didn't want to do a return and lied to me about store policy. I even told them the store policy and she walked away from me. Not willing to work with me on their policy at all.

I do my best to be nice to everyone, i treat everyone with respect and they literally crapped on me.

Dollar General Management at your Derry NH store

I went into your store at 17 Crystal Ave Derry NH 03038 to purchase a few things that I needed. Before I entered the store there are handwritten notes hanging on the door stating that some items are ringing up for a different amount. When I checked out all three of my items rang up $1.00 more than the shelves stated (Yes, I did check the price on the shelf before I went to the front). When I hit the help button it took over 10 minutes for the manager to come up and help me. (There was only self-checkout available). When I asked if she was going to give me the price on the shelves, she said no I cannot do that. I have always shopped at Dollar General and never came across where the manager of the store could not fix the price in the register. When I asked why she told me that it was because the store just opened. The manager of your Derry NH store was very rude to me. I told her she could void the whole order. My biggest issue is the signs on the door do not state that the prices could not be corrected in the register just that they ring up incorrectly. Also, there were only about 3 other people in the store why did it take her so long to come to the front to help me out and your Manager at the store is rude.

Dollar General Cleanliness

I was in your store on Friday, March 3 on College Avenue in Factoryville. Wow, this is a 3 year old store? It started with new white floors and a feeling of quality just a few years ago and now it is disgusting to say the least. I hope the company hires a professional floor cleaner to mop and buff on a regular basis before it’s shut down. Every time I go in it looks worse 🤢

Desired outcome: Clean your store with a professional company not employees please

Dollar General Building doors

The Dollar General Market located 835 East Andrew Johnson Hwy Greeneville TN

The doors at this location has continuously had issues and you have to manually slide doors open and closed. Cannot understand why they cannot be repaired! If this is a store being rented by Dollar General then the owner of property needs to be contacted! I almost every time have to assist elderly folks to open doors. This is ridiculous! There has been times over summer months the air conditioning doesn’t work too! Come on get this repaired for your workers and customers!

Desired outcome: Repair the doors to open and close and not have to manually do this. Only one of the doors are used the other end is blocked off!! And heating and air conditioning to be operable too!

The Manager needs to check all refrigerated products. I bought these hot dogs on Monday Feb. 13, 2023. The expiration date was Jan. 09, 2023. I'm not looking to return these but thought someone should be checking the dates on all foods. Not sure if I will go back to shopping there. The store number is 19322. I hope you can correct this ASAP. I wouldn't want any other customers to buy outdated products. Thank You

get rid of self check out and have people work and not just 1 person that works there. Only 1 employee when i was there shopping. Check out lines not monitored because she was stocking on other side of store. I asked her a question and she completely ignored me/ yes she is a Black girl! Your store will lose money and people are going to steal stuff because lack of employees and 1 worker per store.

We were so excited to have a dollar general on our side of town, and now so disappointed in what we have. The store is dirty. The ice cream cooler has a sign on it Out of Order and the ice cream is just sitting in their melting. Why on earth did they not move the ice cream to another cooler? Way easier to clean up. A lot of items do not have prices on them...

Dollar General Unlawfully termination

01/03/2023

I went to work early as normal. I was asked by the second in command if I had my keys, and I said yes and tossed them on the counter. Then she told me I was taken off the schedule and I asked why. She said it was because of the company I was keeping and associated with and I said what. And she replied with some of them were questionable. So I walked away about 10 feet, waited 10 seconds to calm down and then turned around, said okay and walked out of the store

Desired outcome: I would like to know who was unquestionable and pay for loss wages and emotional and physical distress

Dollar General Store shopping

2-2-2023, Jane Lew, WV store is in terrible shape. It has been going downhill the last 2 years.
Shelves are bare, junk in the isles that you cannot push a cart through. It is dirty and the staff is hateful. Where is the regional manager? Are they not visiting stores and keeping them in shape?
The whole community is complaining about this one and something need to be done.

Desired outcome: Clean up and stockStore as one should be and hire people that will work

Dollar General Employees working at 4:00 pm 2-2-2023 in Walker, MN.

I was buying several items at the walker store today. They had these 2 lanterns one inside of the other. I had only noticed I price tag. The lady at the counter said well you do know that one of these is $12 and the other is $20. I said I didn’t care just ring it up. She said I can’t just “ring it up” because you want both for one price. My intent was to ring it u I was buying both. She said she needed a tag to ring it up so I headed to the area to get another one that hopefully had two. She kept yelling Mam mam. I came back and her & the other lady were talking about me the entire time I was being rung up. She was totally rude and one of the worst employees I have seen yet in your store. I will no longer shop at dollar general in walker any longer. Horrible dirty store isles packed with carts can barely get around. Today was the final straw. I spent $75 just to be ridiculed and talked about in front of other customers. Walker has a very bad reputation in their store and it has now claimed another shopper who will no longer shop there.

Desired outcome: Have your employees trained in customer service. Have people work for longer than 2 weeks.

Dollar General Lack of clean and organized store... Always!

This concerns the specific store located in West Green, Georgia. I have shopped there 100's of times and every time the store has been filthy dirty, items in the aisle with product on the floors. Products have been outdated but still on the shelves. A lot of shelves are not even stocked.
I cannot believe the manager of that store still has a job. Is this what your company is all about? I will not shop at your store because you don't care.

Desired outcome: CLEAN IT UP.

After this store was looted the manager said it would reopen in 2 weeks, that was almost 2 months ago and today they said 2 weeks again. There is nothing on the web about this and all I can find is its open, I live across the street and can say without a doubt it is not. I saw a large truck being unloaded this morning and another one 2 weeks ago. Why i...

Dollar General The cashier Monique

This is an incident that happened at store#5135 on Jan 10th at approximately 9:50 (ten min till close). they had just announced last purchases to the counter. the family dollar employee;cashier "Monique" not 100% that is her name but pretty sure that's what someone called her. While unloading my cart there were a few things I had changed my mind on and the cashier became increadibly hateful and absolutely disrespectful. Creating an extremely uncomfortable situation was refused to give her name and said "she is management"

She then proceeded to tell me to leave the store because I didn't get everything that was in my cart and she had to be the one to put it back so she then proceeded to tell me I couldn't get anything from the store. As if that weren't enough, she then threw the cheese at me from the other side of the counter. The cheese jar hit the floor and glass and cheese went everywhere. I never said anything to the woman but that I wasn't getting anything after all that attitude and drama she was creating because she was too lazy to do her job and put the things away that I wasn't purchasing. She was absolutely out of line and should be terminated for treating a customer with such disrespect. There were several witnesses that night including one white male acting as security and one black male putting things away still that people left at the register. Neither of them doing anything but letting this crazy cashier act a fool and offend literally every last customer in the store. At one point I heard the cashier bragging about how she did something wrong to get fired and instead they have her a raise. So it makes sense why she thought she could be disrespectful and completely in the wrong and corporate wouldn't do anything about it. I've never been so disrespected in my life. That woman should be terminated immediately before she ends up hurting a customer. I've never had a cashier throw anything at me let alone a glass jar full of queso cheese dip! Literally the worst store experience I've ever had by far. Something needs to be done. She was so mad that she started yelling at everyone left in line to the point that nobody even wanted to try to go thru the checkout because she was being so unreasonable and violent.

Desired outcome: Monique should be terminated for trying to assault me immediately!!
